I just looked it up and if it's the same kit it was £175 plus shipping on ebay. Says that it's 920mmx205mmx85mm. Though that might be a different kit from this one since it looks like it says it's 1:65. I think it would be fun to try out a model like this, but I have no idea where I would put it. Kenny

There are a couple of alternate copies / kits available at the min, this one was £300 + P&P from HK and has all the whistles and bells was about 3 - 4 years ago when I got it.
Funded by selling my HPI Baja 1:5
It looks like a lot of kit for the money, I was after a Baja a few years back, I used to be into nitro trucks and fancied a move up to petrol, the price scared me off lol
I still have a few trucks and a couple of cars, but I haven't even tried to start them up for a long time

Cheers Graham, I have a little razor blade guillotine for the planks etc...which now the ship is back home I can use, but mostly use a snap-of craft knife.
When I was making this at lunchtime at work I had some tool issues, as I work in a high security prison and for obvious reasons I couldn't take anything sharp or pointy in :-/
