Lancia 037 WRC 1982 Martini by Arena
Lancia 037 1982 Martini
When the Group B regulations were launched in 1982, Lancia were the first to be ready with a new ground up design, officially called Lancia Rallye, but more commonly known as the 037. The car made its competition debut on The Elba Rally and appeared on a couple more Italian national events before appearing for the first time on the world stage in Corsica. The kit offers options from a total of five events, with driver choices too. The most obvious visual difference on the car when compared with the normal view that we have of the later versions is that the tail lights are from the Beta Montecarlo road car on which the styling was loosely based. The kit has a nicely cast resin body with plenty of resin and white metal ancillary parts which include a full engine, transmission and rear suspension detail. The instructions include all of the decoration options but that is all, something of an oversight and being rectified by the manufacturer!...

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.
