i asked a friend to help bid on it because they will not ship internationally.
as of this post i have 5 days left. the auction title has a spelling error in it so i am hoping no one saw it because the counter is not picking up any views.
wish me luck so that if i do win it i can blame you  .

I still found plenty of the red NSX-R on the overseas auction site. But after currency exchange. It's around $220. Damn Canadian dollar sinking so low

What euro sedan would go nicely with a navy blue bmw 750 li by kyosho ? Newer beamer not the old ones, I'm considering a newer audi a8 w12 in silver by kyosho, what're your thoughts on that? Would the silver go with it?

went to Wilkinson's today. Found this little guy. I first thought it was a Maisto but on closer inspection. It was an Autoart. Since I got it for cheap, might as well mod it with some aftermarket kit when the time comes.  | |

If not then everything online is 20% off as well, not on items added new after aug 1 rst which applies for the 20% discount in store as well

Yeah, this year's sale wasnt that impressive. Just the usual 1/43 25%. Not all of the 1/18 are on sale. That p1 in the first display shelve is 40%.....on 495.99 I believe.
Thumper: That's the first edition 1/18 Z Tune r34
kookoobird88: Was the mirrors really broken off before? if so, then Ted sure glue them back on strong lol

Because I have been using the mirrors to open the door and there isn't any glue residue. But doesn't matter, planning to do a color change on it.
