Ah ok then, I signed up on Oople so I'll try to track him down and send him a message.

I've got pics of a few of my cars but none of the previously mentioned Optima as yet, I'll try to get some organised in the next few days, in the mean time here's a list of my old school Kyosho collection.

1st gen Optima x3
Javelin x2
1 not quite finished Turbo Optima, still needs the body painted/decalled and a few other things.
1 NIB unbuilt Turbo Optima :D
Salute x2
No Optima Pro as yet but accumulating parts to build one
Standard Optima Mid x3, and almost enough parts to start building a 4th
Turbo Optima Mid x2
Turbo Optima Mid SE x1 1/2, bought two and made one good one from the pair
*Turbo Optima Mid Special* :D Body yet to be trimmed/painted
Optima Mid Custom, currently has F40 suspension/body mounts etc, body unpainted
Optima Mid Custom Special, no body/decals yet
Lazer ZX x2, one of these was the Team Blue Groove body display car on ebay
1 Lazer ZX-RR on the way :D

So yea, a few more than 15 :lol:

I'll try to get some pics and do my own thread and stop highjacking yours.

Oh mate, that's just the old school stuff. :lol: I haven't mentioned the MP7.5 Sports Inferno yet or the other 3 Inferno's and the Tamiya re-releases, Lazer ZX-5..... There's about 40 all up, so far.

Just started a thread of my own.

Well I tried PMing Jon over at Oople but no response yet. I'm not sure if the message didn't go through or he just hasn't had time to respond yet. Anyway, I found what looks to be his website
http://www.rcsgraphicworx.co.uk/aboutus.php so I'll contacting him through there.

I'll ask if he can do the box art style number 5 too.
