Chevrolet Corvette C3 3rd Daytona 1973 #5
Hand built available ARE819M
As with the Owens Corning car from Sebring in 1970 (ARE817) the body in this kit is cast with the bonnet and headlights as inserts, but it is a different casting with a few subtle changes. There are a few feed tags to remove but very little flash and the engraving is nice and crisp. Your main paint finish will be a simple white affair, with those headlight inserts needing satin silver to match the ‘tape’ decal that edges them. The decals appear to be complete and correct but there are a couple of small placement errors on the doors in the instructions, so you may wish to double check race images for 100% accuracy.

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.
