That large model on Ebay states that the seller may not post to Australia.

I wonder why.

Regards

because that is where you live...  Ebay is stating that, not the seller.  when i look at it, the listing says "may not post to United States"...  basically the seller will only ship within United Kingdom.

The ship is an 11 feet model.

Some people have no sense of humour.

Andy, you are correct, it is Balmaha, I lived there for many years and only started building man size boats once I had moved away. I did build quite a few rc boats while I was there.
