It arrived pretty quickly, considering I didn't expect to possibly ever see it (based on popular opinion) but it was shipped from here in the States... probably arrived within two weeks of ordering. I plan on removing the Hooben board & replacing it with an IBU2Pro I got from Hermann Bix.

The deeply-discounted Tigers are back in stock... you literally can't beat 68 dollars for a running 1/16, which includes tax & shipping!! Note that this discount deal only good in the US

I have just ordered one. It seem too good to be true 68 USD about 51 pounds sterling plus free US shipping. I don't really need one so I am thinking next years Christmas box/Birthday present for tank mad 8 year old grandson I just have to pack it in my case for my return trip..

I will post unboxing photo's on line.

"I am thinking...present for tank mad 8 year old grandson." Great idea! He's likely to be a bit rough on it, but what a thrill and connection to grandpa!

Yep I did too. Let's see what turns up.

At the very least If it arrives I can use it for parts :haha:
