Fine detail set for the Lotus Type 79 replica

The Tamiya 12639 Photo-Etched Parts Set gives modellers a practical route to increase the scale realism of a 1/20 Lotus Type 79. It concentrates on thin metal components that improve textural accuracy across key areas of the car.

How photo-etched parts improve scale accuracy

Photo-etch delivers thinned metal features like grille mesh, disc detail, and fixing clips that are difficult to sculpt in plastic. These parts bring sharper edges and true-to-scale proportions to your model.

Upgrades for the interior and external fittings

The kit includes seatbelt webbing, stickers and metal buckles so you can build a convincing cockpit. These add-ons are intended for builders looking to refine their finishing and detailing skills.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/20
  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Includes: Brake discs, radiator, cowl fastener, kill switch, fuel receptacle, tow hook, seatbelts, stickers, and buckles
  • Assembly: Requires glue and painting
Superglue (cyanoacrylate) suits metal-to-plastic joints well. Apply sparingly and use a fine applicator or microbrush for precise bonds.
Some items may require small pilot holes for secure fixing. Use a fine pin vise and check alignment before committing to glue.
Yes. Clean, prime and paint with thin coats. Masking and careful layering will achieve a factory look that blends with the plastic parts.
