Italeri 3652 - 1/24 Renault R5 Alpine Rally Retro Model  [IT-3652S]

Italeri 1/24 Renault R5 Alpine Rally - Retro rally car in miniature

The Renault R5 Alpine Rally became a standout on late 1970s stages thanks to its agility and trim weight. This Italeri 1/24 kit captures the car's proportions and cockpit detail, letting builders recreate a 1977-era competitor with accuracy. The real R5 Alpine was campaigned in events like Sanremo, Monte Carlo and Acropolis, powered by a 150 horsepower unit and weighing about 800 kg.

What to expect during the build

Expect a focused modelling session: parts are well defined and require clean trimming and careful glueing. The included decals allow accurate liveries, and the completed model suits compact shelves and display cabinets.

Why this model matters

The R5 Alpine Rally is a compact example of clever engineering from the period. Italeri's kit gives modellers a chance to study and present that historic package at scale.
