Tamiya 1/12 Lotus Type 78 Model with Photo Etched Parts

The Tamiya 1/12 Lotus Type 78 Model Formula One Car Kit is modeled after an iconic car and includes photo etched parts for added realism. This detailed model kit recreates the famous Lotus Type 78, which was driven by Mario Andretti and Gunnar Nilsson. The Lotus Type 78 made its name in automotive racing history as the first full-fledged wing car in Formula One. The race car has a slender body based on a sharp wedge shape, and the inside of the side pontoon has a wing shape that is upside down with inverted aircraft-like wings to achieve a greater down force effect without increasing air resistance.
