Lotus 38 1966 500 Indy Second Place Jim Clark #19 in 1:18 scale
This is the Lotus 38 1966 500 Indy Second Place Jim Clark #19 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Lotus 38, driven by Jim Clark and bearing the number 19, achieved a remarkable second place in the 1966 Indianapolis 500, solidifying its place in motorsport history. This car was a continuation of Lotus's pioneering efforts in bringing rear-engine design to IndyCar racing, which had revolutionized the sport just a year earlier. The Lotus 38's innovative design provided superior handling, stability, and aerodynamics compared to the traditional front-engine competitors, giving Clark a competitive edge on the track. Despite narrowly missing the top spot, the Lotus 38's performance in the 1966 Indy 500 underscored the effectiveness of its advanced engineering, helping to cement the rear-engine layout as the future of IndyCar racing. This model is celebrated not only for its technical brilliance but also for its role in one of the most competitive eras of the Indianapolis 500.
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.
