Tamiya 1/20 Lotus Type 79 1978

The Tamiya 1/20 Lotus Type 79 1978 (HC-20060) is a detailed plastic assembly model kit of the iconic F1 car. It captures key technical elements with precision, from the monocoque chassis to the suspension and engine, offering an authentic build experience.

Front and rear upper cowls can be removed after assembly, allowing a clear view of the cockpit and engine bay. The kit includes synthetic rubber tyres and newly designed tyres alongside metal funnel covers, plus top-quality decals to depict the car as it appeared at the British and German Grands Prix, which did not feature JPS markings. For builders seeking extra realism, a dedicated Photo-Etched Parts Set (Item 12635) can be used to add further fine detail.
