Mini Cooper for flat cars

[silverflyer]

Just got these two today from M&S , 1/24th Scale Mini Cooper 1300 Kits , very nice detal, ready painted, quick and easy to assemble £12 each.

The flat car is a Bachmann Tanker base, removed all mouldings from the top and then boarded it with Coffee sticks.

Nice Model and also you have good taste by using proper Mini Coppers not those horrible modern things ! One last point a British racing Green would have been nice ! Still excellent !

Safety/anchor chains would be good, or am I being picky - but I like the idea

Hi Bram, Yes safety chains still to do plus a few other bits to tidy up, will post a pic when finished.

If they were "proper" Mini Coopers they would have the door hinges on the outside where they belong....................................

Would you get all three on one wagon?[/QUOTE]

I dont' think you would on the Bachmann flat car base that I have here, its only 390mm long,
the Mini is 140mm long.

Sliding windows would also go well.
