Lotus F1 #2 2nd 1979 Argentina GP in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus F1 #2 2nd 1979 Argentina GP in 1:18 scale by MCG.
The Lotus 79, entered by Team Martini Racing as car #2, delivered a strong 2nd-place finish at the 1979 Argentine Grand Prix with local hero Carlos Reutemann behind the wheel. Reutemann, one of Argentina’s most successful Formula One drivers, thrilled his home crowd with a masterful performance in sweltering heat at the Buenos Aires circuit. This race was notable not only for Reutemann’s podium on home soil but also for being the season opener and a showcase of the Lotus 79’s revolutionary ground-effect aerodynamics—a design that had dominated the previous year. Despite facing tough competition from the rising Ferrari and Ligier teams, Reutemann’s podium finish underscored his smooth, consistent driving style and ability to extract the most from one of the most innovative cars of its era.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
