My "collection"

[Nige55]

Hi, new here, and i got a passion for old kyoshos, especially the turbo optima mid. Most probably because i got one when i was about 8:) Now I have a few, one NIB, one shelfqueen and one runner. and a lot of spare parts. So many spares that I actually can make another runner (lwb)
here are some pictures:

A project where i try to convert a mini-z optima to a turbo optima mid, and a marui(?) model beside:

Hi Oddster, could you share any more pics of the mini z optima / optima mid project ? I would love to see, as I would like to do something similar myself. Thanks !

Yes, the mini-z turbo optima mid:)

Quite easy. used the optima, and got a wing and wing stand for the mini-z lazer. The optima body need some modification to fit with the wing stay. optima wheels, and a little bit magic with photoshop will make the small decals. it's not exact scale, just testing. The paper is white regular decal-paper:) See some pictures:


I was not very happy with the paint job, so I have som spare-bodies:)

Decal sheet. The size and colors need some experimental work:)

Today i tried my TOM runner with 3 cell. this thing is stupid fast. Will make a video soon:)

after some attempts on making a mini-z turbo optima mid, the proportions are not 100% but i'm still happy:
