Ive just found mine,
Gave it a quick sand and a lick of primer.




Does anyone know what model has wolfrace style wheels on or where they sell 'em, i need some for it ?

[1984mini25]

Just wondering if anyone could tell me where i can get a diffrent set of wheels for this model?

I might have some diffenrent wheels spare, As all the tamiya mini kits are all made up of the same basic parts, but with and extra set of parts to turn it into a rally/racer or cooper s, etc. so you normally have some parts left over.

What grit sandpaper did you use for the de-seaming?

I used 80 grit to get most of the seam line removed them just sanded with finer papers untill i had the finish i wanted.
Anyway some more has been done to my project just havent realy had the time to post pictures due to my other half only 4 weeks away from being due (baby) which means ive had lots of running around to do lol so
WATCH THIS SPACE.

Due to lack of time all ive done to the mini is glued the roof on and give the shell a quick blower over with white primer. Next step will be to sort out any inperfections. Pictures to follow
