    This is the Arrows F1 Ford A2 #29 1979 German GP Riccardo Patrese w/ Display Case in 1:18 scale by GP Replicas.The Arrows F1 Ford A2, driven by Riccardo Patrese during the 1979 German Grand Prix, faced significant challenges throughout the season. Patrese, an experienced Italian driver, struggled to extract performance from the A2, which was hampered by handling difficulties despite its innovative design. The car featured ground effect aerodynamics but did not match the success of its rivals. The 1979 Formula 1 season was marked by fierce competition, particularly from Ferrari, with Jody Scheckter securing the World Championship, and Renault making significant strides with their turbocharged engine. Patrese’s season, like many of his peers in 1979, was about development, with the focus on balancing the car’s unique design features against the evolving needs of the sport.This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for the most authentic replication.
