This is the Tyrrell 008 No.3 5th Monaco GP 1978 in 1:18 scale by Spark.

The Tyrrell 008, driven by Didier Pironi during the 1978 Formula 1 season, had a significant performance at the Monaco Grand Prix, where it finished 5th. This was a notable achievement, considering that the car was not equipped with the innovative ground-effect aerodynamics that other teams like Lotus were using to their advantage. The 008 was designed by Maurice Philippe with a more conventional setup, which limited its competitiveness but also made it a solid, reliable contender. The Monaco race itself was a dramatic affair, with numerous retirements and challenges from other teams. Didier Pironi’s strong performance underscored his potential in F1, even if the car wasn't a front-runner in terms of overall pace.
