The towers I used I got years ago from I don’t even know where, the rear is way longer than standard, Happy to now have a Javelin sitting amongst my other...

I’ve not been here much lately, but thought I’d share my latest build. It’s a 2013 released kit, that I sourced some reproduction BF8/9 parts, and blue rod ends to replicate the original release.

Bumping an old thread here, RJ gifted me this project quite a few years ago.

I've been in regular contact with BezerkRC, for those interested they have now added the carbon parts to their website, available in plain weave in both gloss and matte, or twill weave in matte.
