Peugeot 2008DKR Dakar 2017 Al Qassimi by Spark
While the factory entries on the 2017 Dakar were the new 3008 DKR, Sheikh Khalid Al Qassimi’s private entry was the previous year’s machine. At first glance they look very similar but beneath the skin things were significantly different and there are subtle styling variations externally too. It is the livery which really stands out on this one though, with a complex pattern of fading stripes which go from yellow to red over a white base. The paintwork on the model is excellent and the decals are carefully applied and there are suspension parts visible inside the wheel arches and under the rear.

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.
