My local model shop owner reckons that Kyosho makes some of the best detailed models and their retail prices seem quite good too. I see you are a collector and would know more than me. I have only one other (real) model which is an Aussie muscle car which is a classic down under..

Oh...I'm not really an expert! Although I've been collecting models (500+ so far) since I was a very young boy! First a lot of old Corgi Toys, then models especially made for collectors (mostly 1:43s) and now a few 1:18 scale examples too!
I haven't seen any Kyoshos yet, but judging by the photo of your MINI, they must be great!

It's been more than two years since we were having this conversation!

I've been buying lots of MINI models since then and I finally got to buy two beautifully detailed MINI models from Kyosho! I bought a great looking BRG/W Cooper and a CR/W Cooper S. They are amazing!

I've also bought a couple of AutoArt MINIs and they too are quite impressive!

I'll take some photos and maybe I'll start a thread for all MINI2.com members to show photos of their MINI models with us!

A thread devoted to models is urgently needed!

There was a long running thread in the general section a while ago. It was very active with members buying and swapping models across the globe but I cannot find it.

That's precisely why we need a sticky thread about MINI models around here!

A blast from the past! Massive bump for this thread.

I've only one more model since then and it's a small model of a silver 'S' which was used by the New South Wales Police...

I would really like a CR Cooper S though!
