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).

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
