Vauxhall Magnum RAC 1977 #39 McRae by Arena
Hand built available ARE783M
Depending on engine size and trim level as well as the year that it was built, Vauxhall’s Viva-based coupe was variously known as a Viva, Magnum and Firenza. The latter two names are more commonly seen on the larger engined versions and for competition it was the marketing department who would have had as much say as anyone else on badging. The main kit parts are very similar on all seven of Arena’s releases with some small changes for wheels and other odd details. The main resin body castings are very clean requiring minimal preparation and the overall shape looks excellent. The smaller parts are a typical mix of resin and white metal with very fine photo-etch, so delicate in places that there is a protective area around the side window frames, so be careful! Decals are clearly printed in all and in the cases where the cars had vinyl roofs, decals are included for these too.

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.
