Will your guy in H.K. sell to anybody? or its a personal relationship?
Did you have to pay duties?

Hey kaptain jack yeah he will sell to anyone and is fantastic to deal with.... no we don't pay any duties down here...

I paid $760 US plus $90 US and it was delivered in 6 days from Hong Kong .... not sure if that price will be the same for everyone .

Let me know if you want and I can pass your details on to him and give you his email...

Cheers Ken

Hey guys got the base coat on the upper hull and nearly all the turret finished so I can base coat it next....
Its got a huge turret basket which was a bit fiddly to build but seems more robust then the Leo 2 ones.

That tank looks amazing! Is it actually that 'smaller', compared to other 1/16??
