I'm just getting a feel for interest first. I've contacted the supplier to see if he's interested in shipping more of these to the US as well.

If this goes forward, I'll need payment up front and will of course offer painted bodies at a discount during the group buy period.

If you're interested, please let me know.

edit: Oh, depending on the EUR to Dollar exchange rate, the price shipped may be in the $40-$50 range, but I'm working on that.


Edit:
$33 per body
$12 shipping


If I have payment for more than 30 bodies by the time I order then, I'll refund you the $3 discount or put it towards a paint job. I want to place the order October 1st.

Now I just hope the Euro/Dollar rates don't change.

Send Check to:
David McLaughlin
2 Olean Road
Burlington MA 01803

In hopes of getting a few more orders, I'm keeping the buy open till the end of the week. If you want to pay by paypal, please add 5% to the total and use airboston@comcast.net for the account.


Orders (payment received):
George Henry - 2 Bodies (hold for paint)
Jason Panciera - 2 Bodies
Gary Gartner - 1 Body Painted
Chris Glanville (Nor.Cal.914) - 1 Body
Joe Sharp - 5?? Painted??
Jamie Wheeler - 2 Bodies
Kelly Thorson (echocanyons) - 1 Body Painted
Brett Laurila (BKLA) - 2 Bodies / 1 Painted
Charles McLendon - 1 Body
James Knowlton - 2 Bodies

Here's a measured photo for mounting the prepainted bodies to a Tamiya M04L chassis. I took the measurments from the mold lines as shown using a cloth measuring tape (raid the wife's sewing drawer). I normally use a Dremel tool with a cone cutting bit and a low speed.
