I also have (all boxart paint):

Cheers,

Dan :D

I'm not sure if I like the post-production, but the originals are very nice. Nice pyramids! (Pair of Mids) Okay, that wasn't very punny... :lol:

Yes I had just installed Picsart App on my Galaxy S3 and had a play with what I could do with the images.....the originals are the best!

Great work Wydraz, loving the pics. I too am about to build a Turbo, using a lot of new parts, so enjoyed this post :wink:

It's cool owning a couple of these gems, good on you matey :mrgreen:

Can I ask a silly question? I've always wondered if there was a difference in any of the lexan shells made by Kyosho for the original Optima Mid, Mid Turbo and Mid Turbo SE?

Thanks- Jason

I could well be wrong but I believe the part number for the bodyshell in the original Optima Mid, Mid Turbo and Mid Turbo SE manuals was the same (OT-106) and therefore in the kits, however if you look on the box for the Optima Mid it is slightly different especially the windows which appear to be a different shape and without the bulge.

Maybe someone else can correct me! :)

Cheers,

Dan
