The wing looks like an earlier wide span and short chord design and is not really the 70s type which tended to be reduced width and longer chord. So I think this could be either an M7, Lotus 49 or Matra MS80.

Ok, so possibly wishful thinking for the 012, but there would be great options for colour schemes, we have Benetton green for Alboreto, Tyrrell blue for several drivers, dark red for Brundle's Dallas car and of course black for Bellof's Monaco car. Many remember Senna catching Prost in the very wet ...

Could this be a Tyrrell 012?

The Bandai kit has the earlier exhaust system of 3 pipes per side and no extended fuel tanks on the side of the chassis. This was when Matra hoped the V12 engine would be a little more fuel efficient than it really was! One advantage of the Bandai kit over the Tamiya one was the location of the batt...

Malc,
