Porsche 935 13th Le Mans 1979 #45 Minolta
Although fitted with full K3 bodywork, this car, the second of three entries from Kremer at Le Mans in 1979, did not benefit from all the K3 upgrades under the skin and was significantly slower than the lead car which went on to win the race. It did finish though! Externally, the model looks very good. The shape and placement of the decoration match pre-start photos as we would hope and the overall standard of finish is excellent. The tyres are neatly tucked up in the wheel arches, as has become usual with Spark’s 935s and the side windows are precisely cut as overlapping parts to represent an open sliding window.

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.
