Mini Cooper S Countryman All4

“I shall call it, Mini Cooper.” Hasegawa Hobby Kits has recreated in 1:24 Scale one of my all-time favorite automobiles: the Mini Cooper or specifically the CD-21 Mini Cooper S Countryman All 4. That’s a big name for a small car but it fits.


Although small is size the Mini Cooper is big on performance, luxury and bells and whistles. Painted in white/silver with black trim, roof, wheel wells, grill and mirrors, the Mini Cooper S model is a pint-sized BMW that is the successor to the Mini-Wagon Clubman.


Equipped with five door (including a hatchback) the four-wheel drive, 1.6 liter engine marvel of engineering offers plenty of room, luxury interior design, plenty of horsepower for comfortable high-speed travel and lots of extras for customizing such as roof rails, wheels, door mirrors and interior accessories.


The Hasegawa model is made for the veteran modeler. Painting, gluing and decal application are required, but the enclosed instructions make assembly and detailing easy. Seven part trees, a decal sheet and chassis are included along with the instructions. Flashing and trim work is at a minimum and customized paint instructions allow modelers to customize their model as do extra accessories.


The model comes packaged in a medium size box with a full-color photo of a Mini Cooper S Countryman All4 on its cover and on three sides. A full history of the vehicle is included on the instructions.
