I would like to request help finding Uesugi Kenshin 1/4 by Volks (Resin kit)

[serogane]

I haven't had much luck for the past month.

If you see this kit on YJA, can you let me know? It would be much appreciated.

Thank you. :)

Here's one, but...

手つき品　バリ取りのみしていますがあとは手を付けていません。パーツはすべて揃っています。ベースには重 量軽減のため穴を開けています（内側なので外からは見えません）以上ご了承いただける方よろしくお願いしま す。

Is he trying to say that it's been worked on? What's that last part about decreasing the weight?

Can somebody help me translate? Good translator didn't really help. :sweat:

The kit has been worked on. Only the runners have been removed. All the parts are accounted for. Holes have been drilled in the base to lighten the weight. The holes cannot be seen from the outside.

That will be $75 please. Pay the receptionist on your way out...

[serogane]

Lol, thanks Masa. :D

Boy am I glad I didn't go ahead and bid.

Hmm this is what, the 10th time I've needed translation help? Maybe I should hire a translator. ;)

[serogane]

If I may ask, can someone tell me about the "Catch" with this particular auction (i.e. 代引き手数料（消費税込み） at the bottom of the page)?

It says 未使用, but are the parts still in their respective bags, unopened?

I often find that the Nifty engine (http://nifty.amikai.com/amiweb/browser.jsp?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpage15.auctions.yahoo .co.jp%2Fjp%2Fauction%2Ft73162175&langpair=2%2C1&toolbar=no&lang=JA&c_id=nifty) translates well and as for the information you request ... well it's up to the seller to state it in the auction after all. ^^

[Masa]

The description says anything over 3000 yen can be sent C.O.D. (Japan only of course). The kit hasn't been worked on. The box is kinda rough - shelf wear, dents and scratches.

[serogane]

Cool, thanks a lot Joa and Masa. :bow:

I will be watching this one.

I get the impression that it can still be ordered from Volks... (at least it does not prevent you from adding it to shopping bag)

[serogane]

Oh I know. ;)

That's where I got mine. I posted the link in case others were interested as well.

Had to use Shopping Mall Japan's special order feature though, as Volks doesn't ship internationally.

[David_Chiu]

I could no longer justify spending 400+ dollars on kits now... (sad)

[serogane]

I think this is the most I've ever spent on a single kit. Probably my last too, with such lousy exchange rates.
