Tamiya racing mini cooper (pics !)

Here it is. once again built right out of box. the only "mod" is that I filled some holes that were meant to hold bumpers on the street version of this car.

Sorry, the pictures are a bit grainy and dark.

The dials are decals.

They are chromed parts with a clear lens. It's a decal that I've put over them. I assume that in those days they taped headlights like that to prevent spreading of glass on the track when a collision occured (pure speculation).

MINI!!! :jump:


Great job, it's very clean

That's why they taped them...and still do today.

That is really good! Try to take some outside pics - it'll do the British Racing Green more justice. ;)

Well done

Makes me want to go and build one now :D

thats old school and i like it!

Great work. Do you have any outdoor pics?

Another great version of this all time class car.
Very well constructed and the paint job looks very uniform and shinny.
Now some daylight photos to admire it in all is glory. :)

Nice mini.
but IMO it would look better without the taped headlights.

I will take outside pictures soon. It's spring time over here and everything is dirty.

I like it very much :D
Can't wait to see the outdoor pics.
So please hurry up :D :smoker2:

Nice and clean! Great detailing! :)
