Hasegawa's latest model kit of the Mini Cooper 1.3i is a completely new mold, based on extensive research conducted on the real thing! The Mini (Classic Mini) first appeared in 1959, and was manufactured without a model change until 2000. This is a front-wheel drive vehicle with a compact body and maximum interior space; it's especially popular in Japan, and has been loved for generations. This kit reproduces the Mini Cooper from 1997, the final model of the classic Mini (commonly known as MK.X) produced from 1997 to 2000. Special care has been taken to accurately reproduce the suspension and the characteristic body structure; assembling this kit will give you the seem feeling as restoring the actual car! Metal inlets are included for the dashboard meter frames, as are window stickers; some parts (front grille, front and rear bumpers, headlight and taillight mirror surfaces, emblem, fuel filler cover, muffler, doorknobs, etc.) are plated as well. Bonus parts are included for the center meter-type dashboard, wood steering wheel, fender mirror (plated), and a European license plate, too. Order yours today!
