The 1978 Type 79 marked a step forward in racing aerodynamics by Team Lotus. This model honours the car campaigned by R. Peterson at the British GP, recreating its silhouette and period details for display use.
Tamiya's finished piece reproduces signature Type 79 traits with fidelity. The taller roll bar and the smaller left-pontoon air outlet are correctly represented. Metal transfers refine the mirror surfaces and the cockpit benefits from photo-etched seatbelt hardware. A labelled display base and a protective clear case are supplied so the model can be shown without further assembly.
