Tamiya 21088 - 1/20 Team Lotus Type 79 1978 British GP Finished Display Model  [21088]

Recreation of the 1978 Team Lotus Type 79 in 1/20 Scale

In 1978 Team Lotus introduced the Type 79, a pioneering car that changed F1 aerodynamics. This replica recalls the car driven by R. Peterson at the British GP and focuses on the original profile and race livery.

Precision Finish and Scale Accuracy

The finished model from Tamiya reproduces key Type 79 elements with careful attention. Notable details include the taller roll bar and the reduced air outlet on the left pontoon. Mirror faces use metal transfer sheets and the cockpit is fitted with photo-etched seatbelt buckles for added realism. The kit comes mounted on a display base with a nameplate and is protected by a clear case for showroom presentation.
