This is the Lotus 38 1966 500 Indy DNF Al Unser #18 in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.
The Lotus 38, car number 18, driven by Al Unser in the 1966 Indianapolis 500, is a significant piece of motorsport history, even though it ended in a DNF (Did Not Finish). Al Unser, who would later become one of the most successful drivers in Indy 500 history, was relatively early in his career at this time. The 1966 race was unique due to the chaotic start, which saw one of the largest crashes in Indy 500 history, involving nearly a third of the field and delaying the race. Despite the promise of the Lotus 38, a revolutionary car with its sleek design and rear-engine layout, mechanical issues forced Unser to retire from the race. The Lotus 38 in 1:18 scale captures the essence of this iconic car, representing a pivotal moment in both Unser's career and the evolution of IndyCar racing.
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.
