Calvin Gifford Good luck!

Marc Stecher Thanks Calvin. Still building up my skills so this one will stay in stash a while.

Martin Oostrom Blast from the past. I think I build this in the early 90's. If I remember correctly, you'll have to do some surgery to get three rear axles as the kit is originally meant for two. Not a kit for starters.

Marc Stecher Martin, about the skill I absolutely agree, and this is where it gets tricky since the previous owner was actually a starter. The extended frame (and the already glued on engine) are crappy built, but I hope to get it clean with some surgery.

Calvin Gifford Restoration trick I learned - put the model in the freezer before trying to take it apart.

Marc Stecher Sounds good, I´ll give it a try, thx Calvin!

Marc Stecher Found an unstarted kit for a reasonable price at a fleamarket. Selling the started kit (engine and frame were built by the prepossesor) for small money.

Calvin Gifford I would certainly be interested but I would not be able to do anything about it for the next couple of months. If you still have it then let me know how much. I'm sure shipping would be a big factor.

Marc Stecher Calvin, thanks for your reply. I won´t put it on ebay or another sales portal, just put it on trade here at scalemates. So you might have a chance. Shipping to the US is around 40$, so yes, more than half of the price I want for the kit. I put it on trade for 70$, seems okay for a started one, but I´m open to price proposals.

Calvin Gifford Yeah, the shipping would put it out of range for me. But I'm sure you could find someone in Europe there that would want to take it off your hands for a good price!
