Background
Jackie Oliver sold the Footwork team to Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR), and hired Jos Verstappen and promoted Ricardo Rosset from F3000. Walkinshaw threw all his effort quickly into the 1997 season, using the FA17 car as a test car for Bridgestone who would debut in 1997. The car was fairly competitive at the start of the year in the hands of Verstappen who finished 6th in Argentina, but reliability was poor. The team finished 9th in the Constructors' Championship and would compete as Arrows the following year.Onyx

The BBR version is quite rare to find and there are not too many photos online. Again it comes in two versions, from the Australian GP (although the one pictures has been converted to a later GP) and the San Marino GP where they ran the red and blue car. This is a nice model from BBR, as you would expect from them.
Score: 9/10
