What's with that 15 year rule? In Canada, it's the same deal. 1989 R32s can be pretty much be legally imported now (as of jan 1 2004) or as long as the date of manufacture is at least 15 years. There's actually an R32 for sale now in Toronto (check it out on autotrader.ca --> $28k). Wonder if it's also a coincidence our currency is almost on par....
As for scratchbuiding, can't you just take dimensions off the R32 kit from Tamiya and then take it from there? Or just track down one of those Fujimi 1/12 kits. Those things gotta be monsters..!
clem..
