This kit, Item No. 20030, was released in 1992 and is a cornerstone for any serious F1 or Tamiya collector. The kit is a highly detailed static display model, featuring removable engine cowling to showcase the complete engine detail and includes slick racing tires.

Box: The original box is in very good condition with clear and vibrant graphics, showing the classic cut-away illustration of the Lotus 102B. Parts (Sprues): All plastic parts appear to be present, still sealed in their original factory plastic bags. This includes the white and black sprues as shown in the photos. Tires: The rubber slick tires are in their original sealed bag, labeled "LOTUS type 102B". Decals: Two sheets of decals are included: Main Livery Decals: These feature the full green and yellow Team Lotus livery and various sponsor logos (Goodyear, Tamiya, BP, Komatsu, etc.).
