Default Best repro Optima body

Hi guys

It's rare that all the repro makers do the same body but Kamtec, TBG and Marwan do an Optima body.
Anyone have a preference??
Nick

Id go with a Marwan buddy, really good shell, well pulled, good thickness, and good size. Decals are ok, not great, not as pliable as id hoped, but for the money, its a good score for sure!

I'll go for Marwan too. Good value for the money. A hair dryer is what I use to fit the decals over edges and such.

agreed with the above ......."Marwan using hair dryer" is the best !!.......

I heard from someone that Kamtec's optima shell is a few mm shorter than the original.......
