A selection of before and after shots of 1:43 Spark Formula One models and the naughty ciggie decals that come packed underneath the plinth:
Lotus 79 (Ronnie Peterson, 1978)John Player Special Lotus 79 (Ronnie Peterson, 1978)Alfa Romeo 179 (Patrick Depailler, 1980)Marlboro Alfa Romeo 179 (Patrick Depailler, 1980)Lotus 102 (Derek Warwick, 1990)Camel Lotus 102 (Derek Warwick, 1990)Spark even include the OZ Racing signage on the rim of the Lotus 🙂Williams FW05 (Warwick Brown, 1976)Marlboro backed Wolf-Williams FW05 (Warwick Brown, 1976)BRM P160E (Niki Lauda, 1973)Marlboro-BRM P160E (Niki Lauda, 1973)Finally, what makes these two Shadows so special? Villiger Tabatip is a tobacco company, but the models (Alan Jones DN8, 1977 in white, Tom Pryce’s 1976 DN8 in black) come with the decals already applied. Saves the collector doing it!

You have both the BRM P160E and the Dutch GP Shadow DN8!
Both very rare models I missed out on when Spark released them.
That’s the trouble with Spark they release so many models that they never list as coming and by the time you find out their gone.
I know, right, their release schedule is relentless, and the retailers want you to pre-order waaaaay ahead of delivery for stuff that might not even arrive. Then you see it on eBay at crazy prices.
