Nicely done 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻 Crackin' little Mini! I too try not to spend too much on parts; theyre so expensive and it's not as though youre adding to the value of the toy (except possibly in the very long run) and, bottom line, what you get is a costly dust gatherer..... unless youre going to play with them, of course. I have seen an ad on the 'Tube for some jollop that seals and makes glass cracks invisible. I might get some of that and see if it's any good for this sort of scenario. That could be a winner..... if it works!
Nicely done Kevin, those tax discs and GB stickers you could buy as an accessory sheet . One thing I would mention using the blue tissue will give you scratches on the polish try a peice of cotton cloth. All the best Martin
"I don't like spending money on these things..." And I am supposed to be the Scottish one! I did not notice if both ends of the springs were in crimped housings, but I usually nip the springs along a bit, with pliers, and pop the axles out whole. The puller only works on wheels that are not knackered (as my FC150 Jeep's were!), but I am reminded that I really need to break out the airbrush again - what a tremendous finish you are getting there! Really nice casting, that Mini, but I always think the track is too narrow on them: I'm sure they'd take a wider axle. Hey ho.
I love this Corgi model, both the Morris and Austin. I got 42 of them. Lovely restored model.

You can use the water with caustic soda when it is cold for removing paint from plastic models.
Very Patriotic Kev. Looks good.
