![]() ![]() The plug wires are included in the kit - always nice - and they are easy to install. The Type 79’s Ford Cosworth engine is faithfully represented. The front rotors are assembled for each to hold a polycap inside, so installing the front tires is a breeze. The front brake rotor and caliper assemblies are well molded, as is the cooling duct work. The front suspension goes together well, with functional, poseable front steering. Handling parts wearing this paint is always a problem, so I sprayed Tamiya (TS-30) silver leaf lacquer directly from the can. The directions call for all polished aluminum parts to be painted chrome silver. Tamiya replicated the aluminum monocoque of the full-size car well, with all of the rivets and assembly holes. ![]() Nicely printed decals are included for Mario Andretti’s No. Rubber F1 tires and beautifully molded metal-mesh engine covers are also provided. There are more than 135 precisely molded parts in gray, black, and chrome-plated plastic. Tamiya delivers uncompromised quality with its 1/20 scale kit. Nicknamed “The Black Beauty” because of its smooth lines, the Lotus Type 79 is considered one of the most beautiful F1 race cars ever developed. ![]()
