Smile Detailed Nissan RB26DETT available for sale

Hi my friends: I done a preview presentation some weeks ago, there

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=947487

Now my Skyline's engine is ready for sales. I got the first production run, looking at the preview you'll see that it's done by more than forty white metal parts and a photo-etched sheet with a lot of interesting parts, like turbine's logos, turbo vents and details, stickers, a full metal intercooler and a racing radiator, clutch details, inlet and outlet gaskets and much much more for your fun. Engine is 1/24 and would be a great touch for any R32>33>34 street, tuned or racing Skyline, until the 2002 racing R34.

TK has options for a racing or sport engine, options like the water/oil pumps to leave without belt cover, and kind camcovers. Following I'll add a couple picts of a racing engine I'm building and eventually a shot of the photo etched and white metal parts.

Leave me to introduce my new creature , the first built one.
Stand and hoses, plus few wiring, not included
I thought to finally make me one like I ever dream, with few soldering job the photo etched inter-cooler switch out in a interesting replica in scale... I guess convincing, at least for me.















Just out of box the TK would be like this





Obviously plus a lot of stuff like paper filters, and photo etched inter cooler and radiator to be folded.


Price is 35 eur plus shipping.
To try to achieve such decent price (considering the material's quality and the number of parts) I'll sell the TK under my own sale phylosophy "M2M" aka modeler to modeler, so, please, PM or mail me if you like to purchase.

Thanks

Portiz: I leave your answer as reply to your question in my CP: just to be "transparent" and applying same condition to all members, following are my condition for Americans/South American friends (trying to help a bit with such low/absurd USD rates, and considering that many asked me 2 engines)

- shipped (no track, but I lost no one of 100+)
1 engine: 45 USD shipped (+- 10 USD disc.)
2 engines: 80 USD shipped (+- 25 USD disc.)

so I almost flattened euro/USD rates to 0..... I'm financial wizard LOL!

As promised, few more shots with parts just out the box (ok... bag...) and very first shots of a racing spec engine, racing option parts (water/iol pumps, camcovers, pulleyes etc.) are ever included
