However, there's a warning on the packaging which says that the product "contains chemicals known in the Sate of California to cause cancer....and reproductive defects"...etc. How seriously should I take this warning? Would appreciate feedback from members who've ...

Many thanx for the info Phil & MM. Much appreciated.

BTW, how rugged is the construction of these birds ie are they made of the same hard plastic BBI uses for its a/c? Was wondering if they can be'hand-flown' and still remain intact if dropped accidentally.

Hi all,

Got a couple of questions about these birds. How durable are they & how well do they compare detail wise, with 21CT, AT & BBI ? (I know they're of a different scale but was just curious about the level of detail. TIA! :D

Hi, Not all the stuff is from Gaincorp. Esp, those with display stands. Gaincorp wise it's advisable to stick with BCA, Flying Mule etc. Cos not all sellers ship internationally plus, communication's also gonna be an issue unless the seller is fluent in English. This being Ebay, there's bound to be ...

Re: re

The R/C Pz IV's gorgeous! Any news if they'll release 1 with a 3 color camo or ambush scheme & sideskirts?

I also recall seeing pics of a tri-color camo XD Pz IV. Can anyone post a link to 'em & what's their estimated ETA to online retailers? TIA
