Finishing the Kyosho 60th anniversary Optima Mid prototype and cracking the code of the box art colour. In this video, we turn our attention to the body after finishing the carbon chassis. I worked out the box art colour so you can mix it yourself easily.

Ace looking build and great job with the paint matching it's never easy. Given as you're trying to match paint to dyed plastic that's been made with a plastic pigment in it you're never going to get it 100%, they're two totally different things, but that's as close as you could possibly want. Big thumbs up 👍

For the boxart photo, Akira used Pro-Line paints: 70% white (PRO632500), 30% mil-spec green (PRO632508), and a few drops of blue (PRO632506). A few could be considered 3. No magical wizardry is needed.

I tried along with hundreds of others - the result is nowhere close. It makes a light, but muddy military green color. No combination of the mixture works at all.

Kyosho posted a video on their KZfaq channel last month on this car, and they left us an easter egg. The Green color that Akira-san pointed to at the 18:35 mark (on their video) is Pro-Line's Mil-Spec Green. If I get my hands on one of these cars, I'll try to mix using his suggesstion.

If I was doing it again I would go 10g less green and add it back in a few grams at a time. Not sure if that would be closer or not.

All I did was use PS-54 cobalt green then backed with white then did the wheels the same colour…..perfect match couldn’t be arsed to mess around trying to match the body to the wheel so I did it the other way around 😊

Great video, I was looking forward to seeing you figure out the paint blend as I'm tempted to give this a go for mine. I was also thinking the same thing about an under tray, that would really complete this car nicely (especially if it had the shapely scoops something like the Optima Pro had). I already tried making an Optima Pro undertray measure up but it's just too far off due to the wider chassis of the Mid.

Looks great Gavin, well done, great build, i hope they bring out the LWB chassis based models ( Longer wheel based chassis, like the optima mid custom or the custom special) soon, i'm more interested in those,

@Chris-sd6os Ай бұрын
Hey Gavin - I’m about to paint body. I plan on using PS55 clear and then mix up Mr Hobby acrylic paints. I’m going to apply by brush and then finish with several coats of PS1 white to seal in. I note you used brush. Do you see brush marks at all? I’ve not painted an RC body with a brush since the 80’s!

@Pablo668 5 ай бұрын
Nice chassis and great job on the body. I really think it was a bit of a dick move on Kyosho's part to not choose a paint that was available on the market. Some people love paint matching, and painting and decaling in general. That's not everyone though. Six of one, half a dozen of the other I guess.

The dog f build wanna see that. Havent build mine yet. No time. Got issues with my basher, cant figure it out. Was using a novac sc, then it stopped working, so changed to a few others (i have spare ) but same issue. Kinda think its either my motor(nah) or my receiver- So bought a brand new brushed sc hobby wing. Set it up, then the wheels moved for a sec then stopped.. 🤷♂️ im stumped- any thoughts ? Thanks

The cartoon stickers are from the Japanese culture of kawaii. Things should be cute and appealing. It's very prevalent in Japan you see some of the cartoon style tamiya models that are the same style. The Kyosho website mentions the rear wing endplates stating "Depending on your preference, you can choose between the specifications shown in the box photo and specifications faithful to the machine at the time for the wing end plates."
@TastierBackInThe80s 5 ай бұрын
You can BARELY see the colour difference on screen. Theres maybe a half shade of in between. The end plates Gav are a matter of preference, its supposed to be for tuning the wing for racing. If you were racing it, you'd position them either up or down for cornering.

I hand-brushed and then sprayed on a backing in green, white and then gunmetal from Tamiya. Came out fine but you can airbrush it on or just hand paint it.

First layer yes and then I got pissed off with it so hand painted the rest. I backed it in a Tamiya green, white and then gunmetal so it was smooth on the inside when done. No issues hand painting it as it was just like you did back in the day.
