Jordan White Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 This build is of a 1996 Mini Cooper with the Sport package, using Tamiya's 1/12 scale kit. The Sport package was mainly visual, with wider body colored flares, wider 13x7 wheels on larger tires, and most are seen with 4 driving lamps rather than 2. The kit itself is fairly basic, with only an opening hood and steerable front wheels, but comes with a fair amount of detail nonetheless. It is also molded very well and has good proportions (from what I can tell.) I will be building it mostly stock, with only a few extras (aftermarket intake and exhaust for sure) and working headlights and running lights. If you're not sure what the Sport model looks like, here's an example. Mine will be a dark green metallic, rather than the black in this picture.
