Re: fab20VT' 1987 Javelin
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

Re: fab20VT' 1987 Javelin
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...orangemazda wrote: ↑Fri May 17, 2019 9:13 pm Back in the 80’s I bought a Javelin from my cousin.

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.

Re: fab20VT' 1987 Javelin
Very nice. Has anybody ever thought about putting "Hemi" stickers on a Javelin? Orange and Hemi just go hand-in-hand...

Re: fab20VT' 1987 Javelin
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.Coelacanth wrote: ↑Wed Jul 31, 2019 5:41 pm Very nice. Has anybody ever thought about putting "Hemi" stickers on a Javelin?
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:

I've got the Re-Re Kyosho stickers that match perfectly so it's OK but thanks for the link!

Re: fab20VT' 1987 Javelin
Such a nice design and well restored !
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
