## Description

TAMIYA 300020060 Lotus Type 79 1978 Car Model Kit 1:20, Medium : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Superb model of an iconic F1 car - Excellent model. Extremely detailed for the scale. Decals are a little tricky but worth the effort. Note, this does t come with the iconic JPS decals. If you want these, Indycals do an excellent full set with gold pinstripes that are easier to apply than the Tamiya ones. Also, Tamiya do a set of super detailed photo etch parts for this kit. Worth getting if you want additional detail!
Review: Good quality kit - Excellent kit with lots of detail. There seemed to be some duplicate parts for alternative options although quite where these were supposed to be used wasn’t clear to me in the instructions. The finished model went together very well as you would expect from Tamiya with no fitting issues.
