Hi Joe.
Hobby Lobby doesn't carry the big F/A 18C, but if they did the shipping cost to Aus is extortionate. I have ordered one from Raidentech--which may be a mistake on my part--as they don't seem to have a good reputation, according to remarks on the Net. Since then I have been put on to a dealership in Hong Kong (Hawkwere) who can ship directly to Aus at much lower cost.
Would like to see your link on this plane, if you can PM me.
Cheers. Paddy.
