1/43 Parnelli VPJ4 Grand Prix cars from Spark Model?

It looks like Spark Model is about to announce production of three 1/43 versions of the short lived Vel’s Parnelli Jones VPJ4 Formula One car as driven by Mario Andretti from late 1974 until early 1976.

Several versions of the Parnelli VPJ4 appeared in the 2014 Spark Catalog but were never released:

The #55 Viceroy liveried car (seen above) marked the VPJ4’s F1 debut at the 1974 Canadian Grand Prix at Mosport.

Andretti’s highest finish with the VPJ4 was a 4th in the 1975 Swedish Grand Prix at the wheel of the non-Viceroy liveried #27 seen below.

The #27 VPJ4 sported a blue and white American Racing Wheels livery for its  final GP appearance at Long Beach in 1976.

Release dates unavailable at this time. We are accepting advance orders on all three models HERE.
