Nice Mini, Ratch. 
If you like the Mini, I can thoroughly recommend the Tamiya kit.
It builds like a dream.

Lovely Mini, that brings back some memories - it was the first kit I built...

Thirty-odd years behind Ratch's mini but the MG is second across the line!
Aye,
Chris

Looking GREAT! Chrisbh.
Sadly I don't see many of the Airfix 1/32 cars here in Denmark.

Here's my Triumph Herald.
It went together fairly well (although the glass was a very tight fit), and I'm pleased with the finish I've got on it.

Following swiftly on the heels of the missus, here's the M-1.

An interesting contrast in subject, both nicely capture the character of the machine imho.
Aye

Behold! The Chav-mobile! Adrian did mention he thought this could maybe go to Telford. I reckon Ratch needs to know what he's letting himself in for first...
Mmmm, the tail lights look a bit odd under camera flash but under normal light look just fine. Odd!

 Shocking colours, but great work.
Suddenly I find the decals for your seats rather discreet, P & D. 
The two colours match my little "Air Circus" almost perfectly!
Have you been using Humbrol 5057 and 5143 acrylics like me?
- Jesper.

Hi Jesper,
No, we used H200 and H208 enamels. The H200 is actually a dream (and smells really nice, which is a bit worrying... not like any other enamel smell I've ever experienced). It went on in one, single coat. The H208 took about 6 coats, however...
