Morris Mini Cooper Racing

Finished 2023 June

Tamiya kit from 1993

Scale: 1/24

As I own myself a F56 from 2015, I have an own place for Mini Coopers in my heart. And getting the hands on this oldie was so fun.

Straight forward build, loads of details - highly recommended.

I added a driver from another kit, as I plan for making a diorama in a later stage.

To be able to position the driver into a more active motion, I had to chop him up in several places and he needed also get a bit shorter. I drilled then holes so I could fasten the parts with metal wire and then I filled the gaps with Green Stuff.

Just for fun I made his helmet like R2D2 in StarWars 😋 

The decals in the kit was totally dried up, so I "borrowed" from my hubby's decal stash.
