Tamiya 24046 Retro Lotus Super 7 Series II 1/24 Kit  [24046]

Miniature workshop classic from Tamiya 24046

The Tamiya 24046 - 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II Model Kit lets builders reproduce a pared-back British sports car from the 1950s. The kit mirrors the original concept of lightweight performance and uses well-engineered parts to make the construction satisfying and accurate.

Background and scale authenticity

The Lotus Seven was originally marketed as a kit to get around taxation while keeping costs low. This model honours that inventive past with detailed scale elements such as the Ford Cosworth-inspired engine bay, independent suspension geometry, and period drum brake styling for display realism.

Build process and presentation tips

Expect precise, small components that reward careful gluing and painting. Key build points include the twin carburettors and the compact steering rack. Once finished, the model sits well in any display focused on classic sports cars and vintage engineering.
