A Mini affair

Its been a long time since I updated this blog or started a new project. For this short December holiday, I think i might only be able to complete this model.

The Project: A Mini affair

The Kit: 1/72 Fujimi Mini Cooper Kit.

Got some reference from the mini dealer:

Sanded and test-fitted some parts:

The outer body is generally very well done. Only slight flash lines and sink marks. Good fitting of the parts too.

The interior

Despite the interior being well-fitted, I find that the flaw of this kit is rather the lack of details of the interior. There are no racing bucket seats provided despite the fact that this is the "John Cooper Works version". There are also some inaccuracies in the details which I discovered while comparing with the brochures.
Other than these points I find that its a pretty decent kit to get!
