What in the hell!? Anyone else ever heard of this one being made from Academy? Looks fairly decent too.

Re: New Mini convertible

It looks good to me, surely worth a closer look. But it's interesting on the other hand as I didn't find any details about it at the Academy homepage, not even a word about it. Is it officially released, I guess not.

Re: New Mini convertible

Is Academy creating new kits, or buying/licensing molds from other manufacturers, such as Tamiya? For example:

Lamborghini Countach:

I believe that the BMW kit is an older Academy kit.
However the Countach is new to me, I never saw it before.

It's not a real 'MINI'...
No badges ("we don't need no stinking badges")
