Mercedes W08 1st Russia 2017 #77 Bottas by Spark
Alternative version SPK5030 Hamilton China SPK5048 Bottas Austria SPK5049 Hamilton Belgium & SPK5054 Hamilton Mexico
Valtteri Bottas became the third winner of the season in Russia, grabbing the lead on the first lap and managing to hold Vettel off at the end. We’ve already seen Hamilton’s Chinese GP winner from Spark and the basic model here is very similar. The design of the current cars with those very complex front wings means that the multiple planes are moulded mostly as one block, with small trim tabs then added. The sculpted rear wing endplates are also quite thick, but the suspension parts, the dorsal fin and looped middle ‘T-wing’ are very finely done and the overall finish is, as usual, excellent.

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.
