1979 Shadow DN9b


Recommended Posts

Recently finished this CAR ( Costruzione Automodelli Roma ) 1/43  DN9b Shadow from the 1979 season. The kit is from sometime around 1981. The engineering and fit was overall a little better than the CAR Ferrari 312B/74 I built earlier this year.

 

It's finished in Tamiya lacquers, acrylics and two part automotive urethane. The decals had survived the last 35 years in pretty good shape and most didn't prove overly fragile or dried out.

 

I am aware there is a nicer, newer Tameo kit of this car, but this is the kit I had so I built it.

This brings back a number of memories. I saw the 1:1 version which was from a local F1 racing team. It wasn't long after I'd started race marshalling at Silverstone, 5 miles from home and about 10 miles from their factory.

You've made a fantastic job of this one Lowbrow, very well done, from another that builds 1/43 kits!
