Mercedes AMG C63 DTM 2016 #2 Paffett by Spark
Alternative version SPKSG280 di Resta & SPKSG281 Wickens
The first of Spark’s DTM releases from the 2016 season, these are diecast rather than the regular resincast models, not that this is obvious without handling the models. The many small aerodynamic appendages are all finely moulded and neatly fitted and the panel engraving is nice and sharp. All the cars have satin finishes and clearly printed decals are precisely placed, although the decals do obscure the panel lines a little in places. Both di Resta and Wickens were race winners, while Paffett managed a couple of podium finishes during the year.

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.
