You may want to visit my models site, which lists various shops and resources for buying/finding model cars. Minichamps have made a 1/43 Lotus 79 (in non-tobacco JPS livery circa 1978), which is now getting hard to find. You may want to have a look on eBay. Minichamps have finally decided to make a 1/18 Lotus 79! The car will be in 1978 non-tobacco JPS livery. The model number for the Mario Andretti car is 100780005 and the Ronnie Peterson is 100780006. I expect 3rd party tobacco conversion kits to follow on soon after… You can get (tobacco liveried) 1/43 and 1/18 Lotus 79s in kit or handbuilt form, but for the former you need a fair bit of expertese, and a large amount of money for the latter (upwards of 250 for a 1/18!). Q: You’re using my pictures! A: Admittedly I have got a fair few pictures that I’ve found on the web. I’m more than happy to attach a copyright notice to or remove any pictures upon request.
