Bring the sleek, low-slung Lotus Type 79 to your workbench with Tamiya’s 1/20 scale model of the 1978 Formula 1 machine. Removable front and rear cowlings let you display the finished car’s profile or reveal the cockpit, engine, and suspension beneath.
Choose markings and configuration parts to represent Mario Andretti’s No. 5 or Ronnie Peterson’s No. 6 car from the British or German Grand Prix. The distinctive side-pontoon undersurfaces, metal air-funnel covers, and rubber tires give you plenty of detail to explore as you build.
