I've not seen them before. I think they literally came out a day or so ago (if not today)

I have the Spark 993 Turbo S Project Gold already, so I don't think I'll be getting one. I have the GT Spirit ones already too.

Seems the ground clearance is a bit too much. Shape looks pretty solid, better than the GTS in my opinion.

Interesting that Spark are doing the M1 Procar, a car done to death by Minichamps both some years ago and recently; their original releases being the best with opening doors and engine compartment. I wonder how Spark's resin format will shape up against Minichamps'. In terms of personal preference I definitely prefer the opening ones the most, but with the sealed forms I assume Spark's resin would be better than the sealed diecasts from Minichamps.

I just saw this listing of a future 1/43rd Spark release. It might have been among the many photos others have posted in this thread that are no longer visible but I had to highlight this since I had posted a pic of the 1:1 in another DX thread many moons ago:

Spark can go as weird as anyone else!

Here's the original photo that I posted elsewhere in DX, showing Jochen Rindt in his Brabham BT23C during practice for the 1968 Albi GP F2 race:

In-race photos confirmed he didn't run this Mondo-Wing during the race-proper.

The images I have been able to find so far of the Ford MKIV seem to have little in the way of rear cover detailing.
Where the hinges are, the cutouts for the spare wheel access (OK the yellow one is from Sebring - I don't know if that is correct).
I am going to be generous and assume those images are of the 1/43rs scale versions.
And a Lancia LC1 Barchetta, damn I'm going to be surviving on gruel again for a while.... :LOL:

I’m new to both Spark and racing models in general, so apologies for the newbie question.

Will their upcoming Porsche 962C No. 14 (18DA86) come with the Lowenbrau decals already applied or does Spark just include a decal sheet like Norev did?

Haven't seen the new one but they made a Lowenbrau-sponsored 962 before and I'm pretty sure it had the decals already applied. They're definitely there on all the photos I've seen online.

I think it is only Tobacco ads that don’t come applied
