This is a small and quick build that should be completed in 2-3 weeks. My girlfriend loves the old Minis so I'm building this one for her. The plan is to add a driver and co-driver figures and put this on a small diorama placing it during the Monte Carlo race this car won in '67.

At this point in the build I have the engine build up, dirtied and installed onto the chassis, together with front and rear suspension and wheel hubs. Some weathering will be applied later. Even though it's a simple kit, there is some clever engineering and the parts fit perfectly the usual Tamiya way.











The radiator:



And the wheels painted with Alclad aluminum:



Thanks for looking in :)

Nice looking kit of an iconic car, will be watching it come together.... Very nice work so far.....
