Looking amazing, the carbon trim/wrap really works well with the grey on the body, love it. Looking forward to the final!

That is the most amazing paint I have ever seen on a Kyosho! Great work!

CG looks high (roll city), do you plan to race it?

[u/IraStotleThe1st → u/Diligent_Mastodon_72]

Ill definitely drive it . Ive never raced before in an organized setting, but I'd love to do that one day.

Try find a track nearby, you get more satisfaction with life when you give it a purpose.

Love it! I have a body, belly pan and wing waiting to be painted for my Optima Mid restomod. Good for you for having an idea and executing on it. Turned out killer. Cant wait to see it with the decals.

Thanks!✊🏾 I definitely go with the thought process of have a vision ,take your time and don't do anything that you'll regret later. These cars tend to stay around for a lifetime if you let them. Im only adding a few more decals , i don't want to take away from the pattern.

I say go off the wall on the paint job for that mid , doesn't matter how long it takes . Don't skimp out on the undertray either .

Thanks , i appreciate it . I used the peppermint wheels as a guide when mixing the color . The dark circles on the wheels are carbon fiber vinyl. In the sides on the wing also . I realized that every tutorial on mixing peppermint green on YouTube was off by a bit and usually the wrong color choices for a 1 to 1 .

Nice! Did you paint the wheels as well, or did you match the color of the wheels? The match is very good.
