Another quick repaint to roughly show Jackie Oliver's 1973 shadow, For this model i just adjusted the hight of the airbox with milliput to recreate the higher airboxes of that time, The 1973 South African G.P i beleive was the teams debut where jackie ran the car for 14 laps before retireing with engine faillure.

SPOOK97 - I just hate to be "Mr. 5%", since your two Shadows are 95% brilliant work.

But Jackie Oliver drove with #22 at Kyalami on March 3rd 1973 in South Africa, and the UOP Shadow-Ford cars were all black at their debut season. The yellow/red livery does not belong to this season.

But - as said - your work and skills are magnificent!

I doff my cap to you sir,you are correct, I may well correct my livery to be more accurate at a later date

Don't worry about the accuracy . . . .

Just race the wheels off it and have some fun!
