Arrows FA1 Sweden 1978 #35/36 Patrese/Stommelen by SilverLine
Arrows FA1 Sweden 1978
The Arrows FA1 is perhaps best known for its banning following a legal challenge from Shadow that it was a copy of their DN9, both having been designed by Tony Southgate and both looking extremely similar! It is slightly ironic that the Arrows version raced first and with marginally more success, the high point being Patrese’ s second place in Sweden. The building instructions show to start with the rear of the car and the engine and suspension assembly. The lower body/chassis casting must have etched ground effect skirts fitted prior to painting and then the rear subframe, cockpit detail and front suspension assembly all goes in, the latter being a mix of etch and very fine castings. The engine will eventually be covered by a thick cast cowling but with care and a little extra detailing beneath this could be left loose if you wished.
