not really sure why but I love the Javelin. The colors never really impressed me but at the same time the Javelin has been my favorite Kyosho. Can't wait to see updates

Back in the 80’s I bought a Javelin from my cousin. I thought the orange rollcage was ugly. I took it off and got the Optima body for it. I then proceeded to throw the orange cage straight I’m the trash! It still makes me mad when I think about that, lol!

Yep ! It's funny how we can look at some decisions we took in the past... On the other hand, that's why vintage is so cool!

My re-re is black because the orange is a bit special but for sure roll cage is a must have when you appreciate to see technical details.

Very nice. Has anybody ever thought about putting "Hemi" stickers on a Javelin? Orange and Hemi just go hand-in-hand...

I've never thought of that before but I think you're right -- even the Hemi's orange color is a very close match to the roll cage.

Anyway, the restoration is very nice so far. What are you planning to do with the car next?

For what it's worth, replacement decal sets for the vintage car is available here:

Thanks, Yes I've got to finish now with the electronic, the wing and stickers...
I've got the Re-Re Kyosho stickers that match perfectly so it's OK but thanks for the link!
