Mini Cooper (Revell 1/25th)

[bh1701]

Here is my model of a Mini Cooper. I think it represent the car from the early 2000's. It is built from Revell's 1/25th scale kit. The kits made and designed by their location in Germany are a joy to work on. Parts go together well and the finished model is very solid. Paints are Tamiya's Bright Red and Pure White. The design on the interior seats is a little odd; I couldn't find any examples of real cars with that pattern on the seats. I painted them according to the instructions. Emblems, license plates, and dashboard gauges are from the decal sheet that comes with the kit.

Thanks for checking this out!

I had the 1:1 scale  2004 Mini Cooper S and I say your model is spot on. These seats are not like mine were.

I agree! I had considered trying to fill in all of the depressions, but thought it was going to be too much work. Since it's a Coupe and has full window glass all around, I figured the seats wouldn't be that prominent when viewing the model.

I have this kit in the stash, and have built a Fujimi kit.  I also owned an '03 S, and I sure don't recall leather seats looking like that!  It was a fun car.

Came out nice, Tamiya matches the Chili Red.
