Tamiya 20065 Classic 1/20 Team Lotus Type 78 Model Kit  [20065]

Ground Effect Pioneer from the 1970s

The 1977 Team Lotus Type 78 introduced ground effect thinking to Formula One, using sculpted underbodies and wide side pods to boost cornering grip. This Tamiya 20065 replica captures the car's key design elements and gives modellers a chance to explore its aerodynamic intent in miniature. The original Type 78 was campaigned by drivers including Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson.

Accurate 1/20 Scale Reproduction

Tamiya's 1/20 kit reproduces the DFV engine, transmission and cockpit layout with close attention to scale. Supplied photo-etched parts add fine surface detail, and panels can be removed to reveal interior assemblies for painting and weathering.
