Abarth 2000 Bolzano-Mendola 1970 #296 by Arena
We have no result for the Bolzano-Mendola hillclimb in 1970, so don’t know how the red Brescia Corse machine did but we do know that Sergio Merando finished fifth overall and won his class at Mugello in his white car, the five lap race taking place on the old 66km road course. The kits both share very similar parts and the resin bodyshells are very clean. The chassis plates will need a small amount of fettling but there is plenty of detail to get stuck into at the rear end with a semi-exposed engine. Decoration on both models is simple but pay close attention to the instructions as some of the well thought out etch must be fitted before painting.

About Arena
Accurate, well detailed resin kits with white metal ancillaries and excellent photo-etched details. Instructions sometimes slightly vague but normally adequate. Castings on some subjects can be a little rough but more recent releases have all been excellent. Due to the amount of etch, they can be quite fiddly to build but in experienced hands make excellent miniatures. Hand built models also available to order. Made in Italy.
