I got this recently from Koen (Koenc) as a NIB kit.
I was looking for one for a while to finish off my collection of all three Mini's. This is probably the best looking one in my view.
I used some dark Green Tamiya paint I bought from a model shop that was closing down. It was old stock and did'nt have any name or number for the colour but it was really cheap and I bought it. When I looked at the colour of Tamiyas official Racing Green I thought it was too bright so I used the old can I had and it looks just right I think, specially in the bright sunshine.
Really pleased with this one : )

Fantastic job on that body. Those stickers can be tricky to apply

That decal job is superb and you're right about the colour - spot on. Any chance of a 'group shot' with all three?

I really don't like Minis (no offense to the Brits), but you've really done one hell of a job with this! If it weren't for the body posts and the lack of seats, I think this could easily pass for a 1:1. Very impressive work!!!

Lovely job, and the racing green colour is spot on - looks like the same colour I chose for my Mini. Top job!

Gorgeous mini, love the 2nd 0and 6th pics, colour is spot on. The number plate is right for the time period of the body style too. Bang on lovely Mini!
