    This is the Lotus 56B 1971 Race Of Champions Emerson Fittipaldi in 1:18 scale by Tecnomodel.At the 1971 non-championship Race of Champions at Brands Hatch, a young Emerson Fittipaldi piloted the radical Lotus 56B — a four-wheel-drive car powered by a Pratt & Whitney turbine engine.  In wet practice, the 56B was reportedly far and away the fastest car on track, thanks to its tremendous traction from four-wheel drive, but during the race in dry conditions it couldn’t convert that pace and ultimately retired after just 33 laps with a suspension failure.  This outing is especially unique in F1 history — the 56B was one of the few turbine-powered, four-wheel-drive F1 cars ever made, representing Colin Chapman’s bold experiment with aerospace technology in Grand Prix 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.
