Tamiya 1/12 Team Lotus Type 72D Scaled Plastic Model Kit
The Lotus Type 72 amazed the racing world with daring and innovative features: a sleek wedge-shaped body, thin sharp nose, side-mounted radiators, and torsion bar spring suspension. In 1970, J. Rindt drove it to the championship title. Upgraded to the Type 72D in 1972 with further improvements and a new color scheme — from red-white Gold Leaf to black JPS — the car carried the young Brazilian Emerson Fittipaldi to five wins from 12 races. That year, Team Lotus claimed both the Constructors' and Drivers' titles with Fittipaldi. This 1/12 scale kit lets you recreate the legendary machine that changed the history of Formula 1.
