And maybe you saw the build series which ran in Ships in Scale, ending in the May/June 2008 issue.

Now you can have this 6 foot long beast!

I worked on it for a year to make a nice model of it (that took plenty of modifications), and it took a 2nd at Toledo (behind Brad Newland's incredible 1:96 Missouri).

The raw kit was valued at $1225, but due to issues at Tian Jie, I don't know if you can get one anymore. I'll let it go for $2000, as I didn't need to invest that much for this magazine build.

Price is for you picking it up near Detroit. If I need to meet you half way, gas is extra! If I need to crate and ship it, the cost will likely double.

Note: NOT completely ready to run. It has run, but you get to supply radio and any multifunction channel splitters. I'll include the drive motors (which could use some tweaking), one turret drive motor, and some of the wiring. The rest of the electronics is on you.

And I have all of the Pitt-Road upgraded guns and AAA mounts. ALL of them. Just replacing them would take months and months (of fun).

But here I sit in NoCal. If I could pick it up I'd seriously consider it, but I'm too d**n far!!!!!!! And I ain't rich. RATS!!!!!!!!!!

Guess I'll just have to satisfy myself with my Nichimo. *SIGH*

Wow, Pat! What a deal you have there... but Hangzhou is even farther than Northern Cal. :(

You should have no trouble selling that one.
