Tamiya 84122 Lotus Type 79 F104W 1/10 Scale Replica Kit  [84122]

Revisit the Golden Era of Formula One with a Scale Replica

The Tamiya 84122 - 1/10 RC Lotus Type 79 celebrates one of the most influential cars in F1 history. Renowned for pioneering ground-effect aerodynamics, the Type 79 made a major impact during the 1978 season and this RC version brings that engineering heritage to a detailed 1/10 scale model.

Authentic 1970s Proportions and Chassis Detail

The F104W chassis recreates the broad stance typical of 1970s Grand Prix cars. Paired with F103 front arms and a clear polycarbonate body, the kit delivers accurate silhouette and scale lines. Included driver parts add to the cockpit realism for display or track use.

Built for Tuning and Upgrades

The kit ships without an electronic speed controller, allowing you to choose electronics that match your driving style. Tamiya option parts such as the F103 Low Friction Pad and F104 Aluminum Motor Mount give practical upgrade paths for on-track performance tuning.

Great Project for Modelers and Racers

Whether you enjoy careful assembly or competitive on-road racing, the Lotus Type 79 combines period accuracy with customization potential. The construction process rewards attention to detail and the finished car looks at home on a display stand or a club track.

The Tamiya Lotus Type 79 on the F104W platform is a satisfying build for hobbyists who value historical accuracy and upgrade options. Its classic looks combined with tuning potential make it a versatile choice for both display and club racing.
