I don't have any documents more precise than those.<br />Besides, I used tomahawk, javelin, optima pro, mid custom, mid custom special and of course optima decals to gather the needed ones. Yet, the ngk decal on the back is my own touch ( the original is different but I did't find it and I liked the ngk logo better ).optimaforeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536808347635731347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702504335386067627.post-65250603238930165302009-10-03T00:49:06.048+02:002009-10-03T00:49:06.048+02:00Thanks!

I am having difficulty finding any good reference box art images to work form.. Do you have any links? Or vector or raster images for the missing decals?Jonathan Leechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441645791165859906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702504335386067627.post-38342950621559054322009-09-29T15:31:55.368+02:002009-09-29T15:31:55.368+02:001. good analyse of the box art

Then the finishing (black matte for the rollcage on the outside). B=brush, S=spray<br /><br />4. it's a good thing to have several kyosho vintage decals sets because the box art optima uses a lot of decals from other cars.optimaforeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01536808347635731347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702504335386067627.post-34702702263360768852009-09-29T04:40:01.202+02:002009-09-29T04:40:01.202+02:00Awesome!

In my defense I lost the original box for my Optima :( I guess now I have a reason to make some more decals... I too just got some repro bodies from Marwan and am ready to paint! Any tips?Jonathan Leechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441645791165859906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702504335386067627.post-37671421862333596132009-09-26T13:17:03.493+02:002009-09-26T13:17:03.493+02:00A pure beauty !A pure beauty !Pixelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358703027158684988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1702504335386067627.post-20255746942873405522009-09-25T21:55:05.457+02:002009-09-25T21:55:05.457+02:00Looks great,amazing work.Looks great,amazing work.UltimaPro´s Kyosho Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02071476615013720739noreply@blogger.com
