1/24 Italeri Fiat 131 Abarth Rally


Recommended Posts

This car won the 1978 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland in the hands of Markku Alen.

The kit is an old Esci mold and is a reasonably accurate depiction of the real car, which altogether won 18 WRC rallies, 7 of them by Markku Alen. For a gravel rally the kit had a wrong set of wheels and too wide wheel arch extensions. The extensions were modified and the wheels come from a rarish Fujimi 131 Abarth Rally, which also donored part of the decals for this model (namely all the 1978 1000 Lakes markings). A PE set from Reneissance models was used for certain details.
