On request from my daughter I have built this classic BMC Mini. It’s worth reminding, that it is a revolutionary design that was created in the 1950s, introduced the transverse mounted engine driving the front wheels and was in production for 40 years (1959-2000).
The kit by Hasegawa builds very pleasantly, fit is very good, the front wheels can be built poseable and the kit also has window masks and special highly reflective silver stickers letting you build very realistic looking mirrors.
@Karl187 - I let my daughter pick the exact colour here. Many of the things you mention is just taking advantage of the kit quality in this case - like when you take a kit headlight glass, glue it with white glue on the kit chrome part (the reflector) and you end up with exellent looking headlight without even having to touch any paint.
