Assemble a Historic Formula One Model with Period Detail

The Tamiya 84122 - 1/10 RC Lotus Type 79 honours a key development in F1 design, celebrated for its ground-effect aerodynamics. Translated to the F104W chassis, this kit delivers the visual and mechanical cues of the original car in 1/10 scale.

Period-Correct Layout and Bodywork

The F104W chassis reproduces the wide, low profile of 1970s Grand Prix cars. Combined with F103 front arms and a polycarbonate shell, the model achieves a convincing vintage look, and driver parts complete the cockpit presentation.

Room to Personalise Electronics and Parts

With no ESC included, builders select motors and speed controllers to match their performance goals. Tamiya option parts such as aluminum motor mounts and low friction pads are useful upgrades for better reliability and handling.

Perfect for Collectors and Track Day Use

From detailed assembly to trial laps, the Lotus Type 79 fits both display collections and casual on-road sessions. Its authentic lines and upgrade options make it a rewarding project for enthusiasts who enjoy tuning their models.
