#463269 Long missed F1 legends by Spark, Wolf and Tyrrell

My first resins in 2024.



I awaited the 1977 WR1 for decades.
Minichamps first delayed, then deleted their diecast.
Spark announced it for long and showed it 2 yrs ago.
Out just now in early November.



The WR1 is unique in F1 history.
Not only for the clean and sober organic lines and livery.

But: new team, new car, just one driver, 1st race, 1st win.
Legendary.
Only Brawn 2009 was similar, but not comparable.









The 1978 Tyrrell 008 was interesting, too.
It followed the radical P34 six-wheeler, and the low chassis, tall cockpit and forward farcing front wings make it kinda unique.
It was planned as a fan car, btw.
With underfloor coolers and a fan to suck the heat off.
Didn't work, and would have been illegal anyway.











1976´5 007 still missing, announced by GP Replicas.



Such radical changes in chassis tech and car layout.
1971, 73, 76, 78.
