Congrats !

Let us know how you get along with the compressor. And if you have any problems (which I doubt), just ask !

arrived yesterday. it's a pre 2002 model (at least hlj lists the current with different looking compressor to be released by that time) but in a very very good condition.

sadly the pre-owner had some sort of customized idea of using the power source and cut away the tamiya battery connector and replaced it with some cable i do not know.



so i looked into my spare parts stash and luckily i still had some old parts from my r/c racing time.

i would power it with the regular a/c adapter but i can't seem to get ahold of one. i hope this solution works. if not i need to get a new compressor allready.

Did the eBay listing say that the power supply had been futzed with?

If it didn't, the item is considered "not as described," and the seller is obligated to refund your money or in some way give you equivalent value - like the factory fittings or a partial refund. Personally, I don't like being cheated, and wouldn't encourage deceptive practices by allowing that to go by.

If the seller refuses to give you fair value, and you don't want to file a formal complaint, negative feedback is definitely in order.

seeing as this was originally a thread about the TS spray paint problem, I'll add this here.

I came across this bit of news from my local model shop after i got back from Hong Kong.

Apparently, Tamiya paints were due to be shipped and make delivery before easter but as early as in January, they were already told that it won't be happening until at least June.
