Quality resin model of the F1 DN8 formula from the manufacturer and the Shadow sports team in which Jackie Oliver drove in the Swedish GP in 1977.
The model will be available in the second quarter of 2024.
The Shadow DN8 was designed by Tony Southgate before he left the team to join the Lotus team. Dave Wass then completed the design work. It featured a low monocoque tub with hip radiators and an oil cooler located at the front (but later moved). Originally intended for the start of the 1976 season, a lack of funding following the withdrawal of main sponsor UOP the previous year meant that the DN8 did not make its debut until late in the year, at the Dutch Grand Prix. Only one DN8 was produced for 1976 and it was not until the third race of the following season that two DN8s were available for drivers.
Southgate returned to the team in the summer of 1977 and this prompted the development of the DN8; the chassis was slimmed down with redesigned water and oil coolers for the second part of the season.
