hi i just finished this build.

i built it for my girlfriend and she wanted it in pink so here it is.

its a box stock tamiya kit apart from the dice on the rear view they are an eyebrow piercing ring.why not!

i thought id do just minimal weathering to it so i just airbrushed a dirt shade around the bottom part of the car.

nicely done. i like the dice on the mirror. paint could use some polish but is a neat design and it's well photographed.

and a tip for next time, sand off the seams like the one running along the top of the front fenders.

Thanks for the comments guys. It came out ok for a quick build. What's the best thing to use to polish the paint? Never had to do it before as I've only done bangers up till now. Lol. Agree about the seams to be honest I ment to do them but got a little carried away with the airbrush first.

Looks good. Don't care for the pink wheels much, though.

I've had good luck polishing using Mothers Plastic polish, Meguir's is also good. I hear. Just let the paint cure for a few days before you try it.

Yikes!

Barbie had a Mini?

Who knew?

Barbie had a hot pink mini moke actually ... but it had to be renamed a summer buggy or something as the US market didn't know what a moke was ....
