Website for above model:- http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/24342/index.htm

Tamiya also do a wicked 1/10 RC car is you are willing to pay the yen. 11,200 from memory.

As for the shipping time the seller has quoted. Expect a much longer wait. I get 2 SAL items per month from Japan. And they can range from 14 to 35 days delivery time. Normally 21-28 days though. Majority of my stuff comes from Asakusa, which isn't far from Narita International.

Considering the backlog behind Christmas, and the total shutdown of services over New Years. There wait might be long. I'm still awaiting an item from the 26th of December currently.

EMS you'd get in 5-7 days, and e-packet you'd get in 10-14 days.

Do you have some decal tweezers and pin vice at all? If not you can borrow mine if you are on the north side of Brisbane. I'm located in Beerwah.

I don't believe those facilities are part of the Japan Post network.

Please start a new thread if you wanna go off-topic and discuss Austpost.

Sent Asakusa 26/12/2015, arrive Beerwah 12/01/2016. Made pretty good time compared to most SAL parcels.
