Revell Mini Cooper

[mr.camaro]

Just a nice simple build to take the edge off the bigger projects. Great kit imo better than the tamiya kit for 20$ less.

Real NICE Kyle, I like your color choice!!

Great color and finish..

Are the engine wires part of the kit? They look like it in your photo.

I will be getting three of this kit... you know why!

And I'm really happy Revell imported these in US boxes. Beats having to pay for the Revell of Germany release!

Mine won't be done NEARLY as nicely, but your build is gonna sell extra copies of this kit. Very good!

Nice...and thanks for the mini review also

[mr.camaro]

Tom yes the wires are box stock. I would put this in my top 5 nicest out of the box models.

Thanks everyone else for the kind words.

Does anyone know if a Left hand steering wheel is available . I'd like to do a U S version of a vintage Mini ...............

Ed-This kit offers both columns and us or euro spec badging.

The kit looks great, but I still have 3 Tamiyas to build, but for other reasons. I have two of the racing cars, and the Monte Carlo rally car.

Made some progress today, got the inner fenders in, finished up the small engine parts, and got the engine glued in.

Im hoping with any luck to have this under glass this weekend along with my club community build. all comments and criticisms welcome!

Nothing you did, but the kit wires look too big for my tase, if I ever get this kit, and I hope to, I will use my own wires.

[Erik Smith]

Looking great. I like the green color and the combo on the interior.

One thing I noticed about the kit is either the valve cover is too small or the head is too big - there shouldn't be that much head showing under the cover.

Here is a real engine for comparison:

Just a small update got most of the chrome put on and painted the radiator support and hood seal.
