Lotus 79 1979 Italy GP Car #2 Driver Carlos Reutemann in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus 79 1979 Italy GP Car #2 Driver Carlos Reutemann in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
At the 1979 Italian Grand Prix, Carlos Reutemann piloted the Lotus 79, car #2, around the high-speed Monza circuit. Reutemann, a skilled and determined Argentine driver known for his smooth style and resilience, had joined Team Lotus during a time of transition. The Lotus 79, once revolutionary with its ground effect aerodynamics, was beginning to show its age against newer competitors. The race was significant as it marked the shifting tide in F1 technology, with turbocharged and more advanced aerodynamic designs beginning to emerge. While Reutemann didn't win, his effort showcased both the fading brilliance of the Lotus 79 and his own consistent performance during a competitive season.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. Resin models are
exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Each model is created using a variety of production
processes, to achieve this precision. They are produced using a composite material referred to in the
industry as “resin”. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used
for the most authentic replication
