Thanks. Considering I have a love/hate relationship with painting, I was more than pleased to see it come together as I had in mind. I often browse the internet for ideas regarding painting, and often combine things into a single body. For instance the placement of part of the decals on the Turbo Optima comes from a car that was listed on eBay, but with my own twist here and there. And that car was a couple of shades of green and white, so totally different appearance.

My Mid will be raced at the vintage revival event on the 27th July and I'll put the video on here shortly after.

Hi Dan

All comments well deserved, you helped me out with some parts and painting, and advice when I was just starting with my first vintage rebuilds. So if my wife finds out about how much cars I have now, I can tell her it's your fault.

Looking forward to vids of your car running at that event. Will you post vids in that topic, so all is kept together?


Btw, added some pics of my Optima Mid Custom Special, the one that has that body, wing and undertray you sold to me.


Edit: made a more logical index, and added pictures of my first Kyosho.
