BR01 Nissan Le Mans 2015 #27 SMP by Spark
Alternative version SPK4652 #37
We’re assuming that the delay in the release of the SMP team cars from the 2015 Le Mans race is due to licensing, as we had the rest of Spark’s subjects from this event by the following year’s race (just). This straggler makes a welcome appearance and has been very well executed. The white, lighter blue and some of the dark blue is painted with the rest of the livery applied as decal and the colour match between paint and decal is spot on, only the texture being a give-away. There are several different carbon finishes too, with printed plastics, textured resin and decal all used and there are subtle details such as the multiple tiny winglets in the side exit vents which we can see fairly clearly on the model but are almost invisible in many race shots and could easily have been missed.

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.
