Product 1:43 | Spark S3988 | McLaren M28C Ford 1979 #7 - J.Watson

Brand : McLaren M28C Ford
Year : 1979
Event : Monaco Grand Prix
Manufacturer : Spark
SKU : S3988
Material : Resin
Productgroup : This product is a scale model of a race car used in competition on a racetrack.
Country : Monte Carlo

De auto met startnummer 7 in de Grand Prix van Monaco 1979 was de McLaren M28C-Ford van John Watson. De race werd verreden op 27-05-1979 over 76 ronden op het stratencircuit van Monte Carlo. Watson kwalificeerde als 14e, maar reed in een wedstrijd met een hoog uitvalpercentage naar plaats vier en pakte daarmee 3 WK-punten.

De M28C gebruikte de beproefde Ford Cosworth DFV, een 3,0-liter V8, in combinatie met een klassieke grondeffect-era afstelling die op Monaco vooral om mechanische grip en tractie draaide. Op een circuit waar inhalen lastig is, werd de race vaak beslist door foutloos door verkeer komen, de auto uit de barrières houden en pitwerk zonder tijdverlies. Watsons resultaat kwam voort uit regelmaat en het vermijden van problemen die meerdere concurrenten wél troffen.

Voorin won Jody Scheckter met de Ferrari, terwijl Clay Regazzoni in de Williams tweede werd en Carlos Reutemann met Lotus derde. Watson bracht de #7 na 76 ronden over de streep als beste McLaren van de dag, op 41,310 seconden van de winnaar. Het is een uitslag die Monaco goed typeert: een startpositie buiten de top tien is niet per definitie het einde, zolang de auto heel blijft en het tempo constant is.

Precisely scaled representative and decorative model for the adult collector. Not suitable for children under the age of 14. Do not place the model in direct artificial or sunlight, as this can accelerate discoloration. Prolonged direct sunlight or heating from a heat source may cause parts of the model to crack. Keep the model dust-free by placing it in a display case. Removing dust with a cloth is strongly discouraged, always use a soft brush.

The item offered here is mainly made of Resin. The modern Resin is a high-quality material that hardens particularly strong and retains its shape. The curing process can be started either with a chemical hardener or by ultraviolet light. Often the smaller parts are made of copper (etched from copper plate) or plastic. Limited edition model cars in particular are made from resin. There is no difference for the quality and lifespan of the article. As a result of temperature, a Resin model car can lose its shape stability. Therefore, make sure that your models are not allowed to get hot.

Formula 1 is the premier league of Motorsport. The model of Spark is a model at scale 1:43 reproduced from the original car as accurately as possible.

The packaging consists of a lacquered MDF baseplate on which the model is mounted. A transparent acrylic display case is placed over it. A cardboard outer box protects the display case from damage. The whole is wrapped in plastic to further protect the display case from damage.
