A superb model of the twice World Champion Formula 1 racing machine: the slick Lotus Ford Type 72D. A Colin Chapman classic featuring hip radiators, sculptured airbox, and far out-rigged rear wing and oil tank. The successful 72s were complex, and often recalled by their British mechanics as sods to work on!
Superior to anything you’ve seen!

The functional steering mechanism, working suspension, and photo-etched parts and pieces just add to the realism. The detail, paint finish, and racing livery are superior to anything you’ve ever seen, or touched – until now!
