After some good suggestions on the paint job and to add decals, I went into garage and re-painted the hood again. Looks really much better now I find. Also painted the top of the side storage boxes and added some vintage style decals. Note the antenna mount, was just some instand idea.
If you liked those pictures, you should see these...

Really like what you did with the hood! Better than all white, or all orange! Nice details everywhere. This is a model I'd be happy to have someday.

ecellent additions to the work. The white on the front looks sweet. And that antenna mount is the cats meow.
Well done

Looks really nice

Thats it mate!!! That looks complete now but not over done which can happen too easily!! Now let this Baby hit the sandy beaches!!! Good job cheers mate.
Henk4Focus
Oh yes, that is a perfect touch to the orange shell. That looks super now.

The hood looks great that way! I see more details elsewhere too, and I like them
mr alan
Looks very cool! Wow!
TamTom
Thank you all for your kind comments! I am really satisfied with the outcome. I did not expect it would look so good at the end. I am now waiting for the speed controller to arrive, then I can turn my first testing round. Unfortunately I cannot hit any sandy beach because here in Austria we have no sea and no beaches therefore
but I will find nice place to have fun with the buggy 
and then I will make some action shots.

Hi Tamtom... Where do the bumper came from? Or is it a custom unit? Beautiful car on paddles....
TamTom
Hi trf_414_m2, the bumper is a part from the Hotshot metal suspension kit from RC-Channel. I had this one left. I did not use it on the Hotshot I put this kit on.

Someone has a Javelin 'Lookalike'
Basket Case
I din't really like FAV's until about 30 seconds ago. That's fab. Might need to get me one.
TamTom
@tamiyoman; I like the Javelin! Often tried to get one, but was always outbidden.
berman
Wow I love it, what an original take on a vintage classic! Paddles suit it down to a 'T' and the colour and sticker scheme give it that 80's appeal
Toykid
Very nice indeed. Colour, bumper, FAV / Wild One hybrid driver. This looks awesome. Added to my Favorites
tamiyoman
Yeah I know the feeling, was outbid on several Javelins myself, then i made it my personal mission the get those cages nip lol
MAD-BEE
No sandy beaches!!! but plenty of snow some times!! im sure you will find a place worthy for this cool buggy to give it a blast!! but its got to be off road as these things look great off road with that soft suspension!!
sorry about the beach thing, cheers buddy.
TamTom
Yeah, I know they are a great fun to ride. I had 3 FAV's before and 3 Wild Ones. But the FAV's with their soft suspension ride like a real Beach Buggy. The soft ride and the cool look is what I like so much on the FAV.

Wow. Really good looking Fav. Well done.
CARRERA
Looking good. What make is the front bumper you have fitted?
TamTom
@CARRERA, the front bumper is part from the Hotshot metal suspension set from RC-Channel.

I'm not a big fan of the orange, but I have to admit that doing the hood panels in white sets it of very nicely
boxartparts
i think this look really good. excellent colour scheme choice
