Shadow DN8 Japan 1977 #16 Patrese by Spark
Rather surprisingly this model arrived fully decorated from Spark, though when photographing our sample we noticed one decal was on upside down! That’s almost an irrelevance though as it’s the wrong decal to start with for this race and particular combination of decals around the cockpit side and airbox didn’t appear on any car that Patrese drove during the season anyway. Minor details, but as easy to get right as wrong.

About Spark
The range which changed the 1:43 model market and for which we coined the term 'resincast'. Resin rather than traditional diecast bodies mean that relatively short production runs can be made and what might be marginal subjects become viable. Quality is very consistent with plenty of fine etch used where necessary. A huge range is the result, covering all aspects of (mostly postwar) motorsport and a wide variety of road cars. We typically see around 30 new subjects released per month and pre-orders are strongly recommended. Made in China & Madagascar.
