Racing Roots of the Morris Mini Cooper

The Morris Mini Cooper earned its place in motorsport through clever packaging and nimble handling. Launched in 1959, the design used a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout that freed up interior space while keeping the overall car dimensions compact, allowing for practical seating for four adults.

John Cooper's tuning turned the Mini into a genuine racing contender, with successive engine improvements leading to the well-known 1275cc option that proved popular on circuit and rally stages. The Works Mini cars went on to score wins across national saloon championships and international touring events in the 1960s.

This Tamiya 24130 kit recreates the Morris Mini Cooper Racing at 1/24 scale with careful attention to proportions and period details, making it a satisfying build for display-minded modellers.

What tools and paints are recommended for this kit?

Basic modelling tools plus fine brushes and enamel or acrylic model paints suit the assembly; use a hobby knife, glue designed for polystyrene, and masking tape for clean paint edges.

Are decals included and how detailed are they?

Decals are supplied to reproduce the racing liveries and trim markings; they are printed for scale fidelity but require careful application and setting solution for best results.
