This is the 1973 LOTUS 72 E WINNER GP ITALIE R. Peterson in 1:18 scale. 

The Lotus 72E, car number 2, driven by Ronnie Peterson, claimed victory and pole position at the 1973 Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 9th. Peterson, known as the "SuperSwede," was celebrated for his remarkable speed and car control, making him a perfect fit for the high-speed Monza circuit. The race was unique and memorable for several reasons: Monza is one of the fastest tracks on the Formula 1 calendar, and Peterson's mastery of the Lotus 72E's aerodynamic design and powerful Ford-Cosworth DFV engine was on full display. His pole position set the stage for a dominant performance, and despite fierce competition, Peterson led the race with precision and determination, securing a well-deserved victory. This win at Monza was particularly significant as it underscored Peterson's reputation as one of the fastest drivers of his era and added to the storied legacy of the Lotus 72, one of the most successful F1 cars in history.

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.
