At the hobby shop yesterday I found a nice Mini model. It was 1/18
scale, made by Solido in France. Two versions, rally and street.
The rally version has a number on the door, a racing bucket, black
fender flares, and a bunch of lights. It's painted bright red with
white roof. The civilian version has a representation of a sunroof
and a gray and red interior, and is painted a slightly darker red.
Both versions have nice fat tires on lovely Minilite wheels. The doors
open and the wheels steer. The price was a bit unreasonable at $35
- usually 1/18 scale stuff goes for more like $25-30 - but I just had
to have it. I bought the rally version. Check it out.
