Re: Hooben Elephant.....
Google is a wondrous thing. Found this https://www.ludwigs-hobby-seite.de/Hoob ... efant.html
Otherwise, I think you will only find far east suppliers as on eBay.

When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Re: Hooben Elephant.....
The RTR is available on ebay in the UK, again from China. I guess probably the same sources as in the US. Quite a range of prices. You have to gamble whether you will get caught for Customs Duty and VAT.

Re: Hooben Elephant.....
Thanks, yeah been caught with duty before, turned a reasonable priced item into very expensive item just like that.
In negotiations for a used Elephant as we speak, many thanks to AdLav for the nod.
