Tamiya 12639 - 1/20 Lotus Type 79 Photo-Etched Precision Upgrade  [12639]

Upgrade pack for the Lotus Type 79 scale model

The Tamiya 12639 Photo-Etched Parts Set is designed for hobbyists who want to improve the detail of a 1/20 Lotus Type 79. The kit focuses on the small metal elements that bring scale authenticity to an iconic 1970s F1 racer.

What photo-etched parts add to your build

Using photo-etched metal lets you reproduce fine features like radiator meshes, brake discs, and fastening hardware more accurately than molded plastic. These components add visual depth and crisp definition to critical areas of the model.

Details aimed at dedicated model builders

Seatbelt straps, adhesive decals, and metal buckles are included to upgrade the cockpit. These parts are targeted at modellers comfortable with close work and precision finishing to achieve a higher standard of realism.
