Kyosho Optima 'the orange one with wing'
3th built on this Kyosho. Kyosho ESC and 15.5 Brushless. Most stock except the body and wing from a Javalin. Repro tires and some dirt washes on the rims to make it look vintage. I used a Tamiya Avante 2001 undertray to protect the chassis and it fits quite well to this Optima

trying to avoid buying more kyosho buggies, this is not helping :-/ very nice!
Lovely!
I've just bought a vintage one in exc. condition and - as the body is painted plain blue - I'm looking around for ideas for a more varied livery...this definitley gives me hints. I see you've used lots of pinstriping, which I definitely want to, as well: may I ask which brand you've used and if it would be possible to stick it from inside the body (i.e. would the colour of the pinstripe be visible from the outside)?

The black pinstripes are cut vinyl sticker from the outside. The blue on the bottom is from the kit sticker set. Rest of the colors are painted from the inside as usual
