35years ago the javelin was my pride and joy. later i was putting the optima body on it. wich fitted perfect of corse, really nice car and brings back very nice mermories
Great job. How to cut out the body clean without lines they guide? I heared there no lines like for example in Tamiya bodies. Please give advice guys 🙏i dont wanna mess it up
Thank you for watching! Yes, it can be a challenge to cut without guide lines. Cut the body roughly by using the photos as a reference until the top part of the body sits snugly onto the high parts of the car such as the shock towers. Once it is sitting in the correct position you will be able to mark the lowest parts in relation to the chassis and then trim it neatly. Take it slow and you will work it out.

That body looks brilliant!
Thank you so much. Marlin is a master.
Paint scheme is superb, well done that man. It reminds me of 80s Audi touring car.
Cheers! Marlin did a great job!

Have to say, that paint job is retro cool!
It compliments the shape really well.

Cheers! Hopefully we see this beast driving at our upcoming Vintage Bash in October.
I really like it when people put some effort into the painting job. Not just one color and a ton of decals. Well done!
