Volvo 142 Safari 1971 Soderstrom by Arena
The 142S of Bengt Soderstom and Thorsten Palm was the sole Volvo on the 1971 Safari Rally and race reports say that they took a cautious approach rewarded with nineteenth overall. The kit is cleanly cast and well-proportioned with the larger parts mostly in resin; some smaller white metal components and a significant amount of etch. As is often the case with Arena kits, this etch covers a number of subjects so pay close attention to ensure you use the correct parts for this version.

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.
