This is my new projekt"Javelin" One of my Kyosho favorites all time.

The only missing part are the roof.I´m going to scratch build a new roof.

Thanks

I've been wanting a Javelin for a long time...but can never find one for a decent price.

Looks like you've got a great base for a restoration there. Isn't there also suppose to be an aluminum piece on the front (right before the driver)?

I had waited a long time too! Had one with just some parts but finally got lucky on a complete one, this is the front piece highwayracer is talking about

Todays work with the Javelin.



I´m not sure on the gold part yet.

More work.

Love the Javelin - my favorite looking 4wd car. Those rollcages are so expensive. Even beat up one go for over $100 on Ebay. A Javelin these days almost needs to be a shelf-queen with the cost of the body repairs.

Almost done now.
The wing is lost anywhere in my hobbyroom.The roof are homemade,plastic card and baremetal foil.The bumper needs some paintjob before i put it on.

Aren't those wheels very rare? I think they were used on a limited series of the optima mid.
Javelins all look hot

The fronts look like Option House W-5022 Narrow wheels, in yellow, which I know for a fact the silver ones are not rare cause I got 9 NIP sets myself, dont ask me why. Maybe the yellow ones are rare or are a different option house number?
The front tires look like option house W-5034 but I could be wrong of course.
If you dont find your wing you can always buy a reproduction Javelin wing for cheap, looking good love the Javelin.

yes, it' the yellow ones which are the rare ones

Cool looking Javelin. I love these as well. Have had many, here and there. Still have parts ( Of course ) if you need. You will enjoy the resto process.
