Italeri 1/24 Renault R5 Alpine Rally - Scale tribute to a 1977 competitor

The Renault R5 Alpine Rally was prized in the late 70s for its lively handling and lightweight design. Italeri's 1/24 kit reproduces that compact rally car with scale-correct shapes and cockpit features. The original was campaigned in 1977 with a 150 horsepower engine and an approximate mass of 800 kg, tackling stages such as Sanremo, Monte Carlo and the Acropolis.

Build highlights and finish tips

The kit contains numerous small components that reward careful trimming and precise cementing. Decals are supplied to replicate authentic markings, and the finished model is well suited for display with other historic rally cars.

Context and legacy

The R5 Alpine Rally remains significant for its combination of power and low weight. This Italeri offering lets builders recreate a slice of rally history at 1/24 scale.
