iamsuperdan Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I like it! The no-chrome look suits it. Quote
89AKurt Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 You did a really good job with that! The color stands out. Like the gold (or is it bronze) wheels. Like the panel lines darkened. But did you forget the fuel caps? I built that kit too. Quote
espo Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I like the theme of your build and the very clean build style. Quote
uelder valongo Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Dú, ficou muito bom. Como te disse, a combinação de cortes ficou fantastica. Parabéns camaradinha !! Brazuca mostrando como se faz também !!!! Quote
marcelo ninci Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Very nice and clean build my beloved nephew!!!! You're following the steps of your uncle very precisely. Congrats Quote
FabbricaP Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Great build! All the customization looks really nice. Where did those fender flares come from? Quote

No, I did not forget the fuel caps, I'm still going to put and Mini symbol in the hood. 9 hours ago, FabbricaP said: Great build! All the customization looks really nice.

pauloe Posted August 31, 2018 Author Posted August 31, 2018 size comparison Mini VS Corvette C6 Quote
PatW Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Great build pauloe. It takes me back to my early days at the Silverstone Circuit just 5 miles from here, seeing these little cars buzzing round the track, especially in the Touring Car races which included the Ford Falcon and Lotus Cortina, when it was wet the Mini would beat both of those to the line every time! I see that you have a rear number plate with a 'D' suffix at the end which denotes the year of 1966. Quote

NYLIBUD Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 Ok I'm 6'2,would I be able to sit comfortably in an old Mini?I know I could fit in the new ones,but I always wanted to drive one of those old 60 racing Minis around the track.I don't think I can fit though..There are a bunch of cars us tall guys can't get in.Being tall isn't always the best thing.

Chuck Most Posted September 6, 2018 Posted September 6, 2018 If I had a 1:1 classic Mini it would probably look something like this. Mine might have the early stamped steel grille though. Quote
geetee66 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Very nice indeed! For an old kit, these Tamiya Minis go together really well.m nice engine and the finish is great. What about the fuel caps? I've got spares you can have, if you lost yours. Shout me if you need em. Quote
