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.

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.

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.
