Iirc this is pretty much a scaled up copy of the 1:25 one not the level of details you'd expect on a 1:12 kit. Andy perhaps you can join the Mustang GB with this if you find one? Would be nice to see one built. Edited June 29, 2021 by dbostream 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on picking up the Coupé at some point too. I usually don't buy kits with no engine but I could not resist. What do they mean with Clubman? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it was just a marketing exercise playing on the name of the original flat front Clubman shaped MIni (as per my avatar ) And tbh the original Clubman name was pretty meaningless as it wasn't particularly designed for club motorsport drivers! That's my basic interpretation of it anyway! Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco F. Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The Italeri version is a good kit, even so the Fujimi ones, as long they are from the enthusiasts line, are more detailed. So you should have some fun building it. The Mini is quite basic. I remember I bought one 20 years ago for my elder son...I still keep this built kit to, may be, build a copy of my last Mini.... at least it's a good kit to create a Mini MK III up to MKVII (?) - the final version before the tiny BMW - and you should get a good result Marco F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Yes a friend of ours had one of these we jokingly named it after one of British Leyland's disasters the Maxi! She was not amused! As it is about twice the size of my brother's 1963 Mini Van and Mum's 1965 Mini Estate with the exterior wood trim/ framing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Just bagged on ebay UK due here on Monday 5th July.. I saw lots of these at Silverstone in the day when marshalling, most weekends. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was not amused! . The 'Mini' (I really think something got lost in translation there) is nearly nine inches longer and 300kg heavier than a Maxi and probably has less room inside. As a former Maxi owner I can say that they are a nice drive and I'd rather have a Maxi than a modern Min any day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Getting back on topic, these arrived this morning. DSCF2322 by timothy jones, on Flickr The '57 Chevy is a 1990's tool and a lot more detailed than the old AMT kit. It even includes some foil and wire for the spark plug leads, complete with wiring diagram. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy J Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 So as it's Mrs Js birthday tomorrow I thought I would treat myself to a kit for the upcoming Mustang GB. Thanks to @TimJ I now have a suitable candidate thanks again Tim I will enjoy building this kit 👍. For a 1/12 kit there's not loads of detail however for someone who likes to finish them and move on this kit suits me fine. Right time to order some paint for the shell methinks 🙂👍 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimJ Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Nice to meet you Andy, I'm sure you'll do a much better job of building it than I would have done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Picked up a 1/24 rc Bugatti Veyron Vitesse. Want to use it for casting the bumpers on a die cast Veyron I have coming to make it a super Sport. Can't get the Super Sport in 1/24 and the 1/18 ones are a fortune. Like the orange and carbon fiber scheme. Not big on super cars but these I like. Also just got the 1/24 Maisto Chiron, Blue 42 version. I know Airfix makes one but it's to lego for my liking. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K She thought that £15 was a bit suspicious for such a large kit but I managed to convince her that the box having been opened seriously affects the price second hand 😉. I'm really looking forward to building this one Keith my mojo is peaking 🙃😜🤪👍. Anyway when she opens her present tomorrow she'll be happy it's an all singing and dancing hair brush from Poundland.....yes I know i really shouldn't spoil her so much 🙂👍 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Well I said I wouldn't be buying any more kits this year and I haven't. The kit below is in anticipation of my wife's birthday next year so I think that's fair enough 🤔. Another 1/12 kit but one i couldn't resist 🙂👍 Happy Birthday 😉👍 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 The 1/12 Mustang I sold to Andy J has been replaced by something much smaller but with considerably more wheels. 🙂 DSCF2328 by timothy jones, on Flickr 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
