This is really cool! Well done...unmistakable

I think i like that better than the A model. Looks pretty damn good.

How are you building so fast!?! Another great build. That hood is perfect.

Brilliant! And with instructions.  A big thanks! 

[Gray Gear]

Damn. Well done. Looks just like its real countercounterpart . And it's a B model as well

Actually it looks very nice, despite 3 cylinder engines.

Great B model. Do your instructions include the further ones where you’ve used parts from other sets. Looks like you’ve used the roof parts from the corvette to get your bonnet stripes :)

I have a formula that works even quicker on B models where I don't speed any time choosing parts/colours. I also have a very nice man doing all the boring stuff like making digital models and instructions.

I wanted to do Cooper S with 4 cylinder but there was only room for a 3 cylinder between the front wheels so it had to be the Cooper.

GeyserBricks will publish a version with 11 extra parts including the corvette (42093) roof. Those 11 parts make a huge difference. I'd be happy with just a black nose panel and the spotlights (5 parts)

Even real Cooper with 3 cylinder engine looks like it has tiny engine. Black addition is even better

I’ll wait for the one with the black bits to be available then before buying

It didn't get approved as it is too close to the B model. You can see the 11 parts required and they can all be easily swapped at any time.

You could append that version to the original RB entry as additional/alternative file. That way you can still expose them both.

@JamesJT as Rudivdk could you just modify the pdf to include details of what to swap out?
