When you get those models built I'll promote them on this site for free :-))
warmest regards - Stephen Page
BTW - I'll buy the first Shadow Austrian GP Winning car :-))

The closest I am going to get to a Shadow DN8 are the two 1/43rd scale models I recently received - Tom Pryce's late 1976 car, and Alan Jones' Austrian GP winner from 1977. I will be very interested in hearing about progress on yours. I build quite a few 1/43rd models (so far over 350 - mainly open wheelers) and am keen to model most of the Shadows. I did get to see the DN9 race in 1979 at Silverstone for the British GP. We were also at Monaco, but from memory they didn't qualify for that race. Talk soon.

I race a March Formula Atlantic (F2) and I'm in the process of restoring a Shadow F1 DN8.
I hope to meet you one day :-))

I have been able to acquire a number of DVDs of F1 races from the 60's and 70's (mainly German commentary), but I had never seen them before. I will try and add some highlights in the near future. Please let me know if anyone has any preferences and I will see if I have it. Regards.
