Tamiya 20060 Lotus Type 79 1978 1/20 Scale Classic F1 Model Kit  [20060]

Lotus Type 79 1978 by Tamiya - Detailed Ground Effect Replica

The 1978 Lotus Type 79, often called the "Black Beauty", changed F1 with its ground effect concept. Piloted by Mario Andretti and Ronnie Peterson, the car combined aerodynamic innovation with competitive success, claiming top titles that season and influencing future race car design.

Assembly Kit for Accurate Display Models

This Tamiya 1/20 scale kit offers a faithful build experience for modellers who value accuracy. The completed model is 220mm long and 108mm wide, matching the low, streamlined look of the original. Builders can remove the front and rear body cowlings to show off the cockpit, engine detail, and suspension work.

Authentic Components and Livery Choices

The kit reproduces the Type 79s distinctive side pontoon undersurface that contributed to its aerodynamic profile. It includes metal air funnel covers and rubber tyres for an authentic finish. Two decal sets let you depict either car No.5 or No.6, and alternative roll bars and air outlet parts allow representation of the British or German Grand Prix variants.
