Ebbro 20011 1/20 Team Lotus Type 88 1981 Classic F1 Display Kit  [EB-20011]

Ebbro 1/20 Team Lotus Type 88 1981 model kit for workshop and display

This 1/20 injection-plastic assembly kit captures the Team Lotus Type 88 as raced in 1981, intended as a display-style reproduction of the experimental twin-chassis Grand Prix car.

The Type 88 was Lotus Engineering's attempt to harness ground-effect while complying with rules limiting movable aero parts. Fielded in the 1981 season, it had a brief competition life and demonstrates the creative engineering responses of the era before regulations were tightened.

As a scale replica the kit focuses on the car's external contours and proportions. Building requires basic modelling practice: careful trimming, checking fits, adhesive work, and accurate painting to match period finishes and sponsor artwork. Use reference images to guide decal placement and authentic weathering treatments.

Attention to suspension alignment and the twin-body silhouette will make the model read correctly at display scale. Consider a simple base or small vignette to present the car without obscuring its aerodynamic shape.

A focused 1/20 representation of the Team Lotus Type 88, aimed at modellers wanting an accurate twin-chassis subject for display or collection.
