Recreating the Type 78 F1 Car

Fine Parts and Openable Panels

Tamiya includes photo-etched details to sharpen visual accuracy and to complement injection moulded parts. The removable body cowlings make the detailed cockpit and DFV engine accessible for painting and display, appealing to hobbyists who like internal detailing.

Use plastic model cement for polystyrene parts and a cyanoacrylate or specialist photo-etch glue for metal pieces to ensure a reliable bond.
Match classic Team Lotus colours with high-quality enamel or acrylic paints; consult period photos for accurate shades and apply thin coats for panel lines and small details.
