The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 captures the character of the Mk.II MINI in a faithful 1/10 interpretation. The kit emphasises the car's compact proportions and period cues for a convincing miniature representation.
The M03L layout reproduces the front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration to deliver handling that feels true to the prototype. The resin monocoque is strong yet straightforward to assemble, and the independent double wishbone suspension contributes to nimble, controllable cornering.
The polycarbonate shell mirrors the 2006 changes such as the bonnet scoop and small rear wing, with separate mirror components for an accurate finish. Sporty wheels and synthetic rubber radial tyres round out the model's authentic appearance.
You'll need a 2-channel radio, an electronic speed controller and a 6-cell flat battery to run the car. The build offers scope for painting, trimming and suspension setup, which makes it engaging for both collectors and active hobbyists.
The Tamiya 58400 Mini Cooper S 2006 is a versatile and authentic kit that rewards careful build work and setup, making it suitable for display, club runs and scale events.
