Turbo Optima Mid + Turbo Optima Mid SE

[j0pp3]

This thread is about two Optima Mid models in the SWB segment. One Turbo Optima Mid and one Turbo Optima Mid SE being built side by side (those two yellow cars in the picture above).

Parts are taken from several mid cars I have in various shape. Although, tires, chassis, bumpers, bodies, wings, decals are new or repros. The SE model will get N.I.P Skyline wheels which are more chrome-ish than the stock ones. The only option so far.

Here are the differences between all SWB models (thought it would be a good attachment).

Yey! Finally done painting the other body and decals is on! I have the SE box as you can see

I painted them in a slightly different color tone as you may see in the picture on both car at once. I wanted the SE a bit more "orange" toned.

Now I just have to practice painting text on tires...
