Tamiya 1/12 Team Lotus Type 72D Scaled Plastic Model Kit
The Lotus Type 72 was a stunning car that amazed the racing world with its daring and innovative features. It had a sleek wedge-shaped body, a thin and sharp nose, radiators on both sides of the cockpit, and a torsion bar spring suspension. In 1970, J. Lint drove it to the championship title. In 1972, it was upgraded to the Lotus Type 72D with various improvements. It also changed its colour scheme from red-white gold leaf to black JPS. With the young Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi behind the wheel, it won five out of 12 races. That year, Team Lotus clinched both the constructor and the driver titles with E. Fittipaldi. Witness the legendary machine that changed the history of F1.
