A one piece body with engraved lines around the doors, fenders, and other panels make the Mini Cooper model kit from Revell Germany a nice intermediate plastic model car kit for younger modelers or those who may have recently moved away from snap together model kits. Two chrome sprues include rims for the vinyl wheels, the iconic grille, and even dashboard. Some fine touches with a paintbrush and the addition of decals for the various gauges make for an impressive chromed out dashboard. Many of the finer details, such as the exhaust system, are molded into the chassis, but smaller pieces like the chrome door handles still provide a moderately challenging build.
Other decals include MINI emblems for around the exterior and a selection of eight license plates from seven European countries. Plus, there is a generic Mini Cooper plate like the photograph on the box displays. The bucket seats have a sleek pattern molded into them, while the instruction manual provides many color options for particular parts of the interior. There are so many options that some of the numbered instructions appear a little more complex than they actually are, and the front of the instruction manual gives a history of the Mini Cooper’s rebirth with BMW. Top off this accurate Mini Cooper model kit with a Union Jack flag that covers the entire roof.
