Description: I want to clear some space on my shelves, so I need to part with some of my collection. THIS IS MY LAST ONE! The Thunder Chopper certainly earns its name every time it rolls down the road. The unmistakable Harley sound blasts from its pipes for all to hear. Over a decade ago, Aoshima reboxed the classic IMAI kit from the 90s, but even these are almost impossible to find. They spiced things up with an exclusive tattoo design on the box art from Mr. Shin’s Heaven’s Door shop in Tokyo and a pin-up of some hot biker chicks inside the box. Previous versions of this kit from IMAI and IMEX describe this as a Harley-Davidson Thunder Chopper, but perhaps a licensing issue prevented Aoshima from using the Harley-Davidson name on this kit, but we know better. I only found a few listings for this kit on eBay (all from Japan), but as a Top Rated Plus US Seller, I have it in stock and can reliably ship this kit very quickly. Here is some of the info I found about this wonderful kit from around the web: The Aoshima site (aoshima-bk.co.jp) no longer shows this item, so I assume it has been Discontinued or is Out of Production. From other sources, I have found the following information about this hard-to-find kit: · Overall length: 235mm (9.25”)· Harley-Davidson Biker’s Way Magazine (Vibes Web) pin-up of Pipes Fox included Scalemates.com has a listing that shows this is a 2011 release based on the IMAI new tool from 1994 that has been released about a dozen times under the IMAI, IMEX and Aoshima brands. The site shows the box art and mentions that Aoshima also used Part Number 88 for this kit in some markets. The kit is in a large box about 13” x 8.5” x 3”. As you can see from the pictures, the kit is in pristine condition and is still in the original shrink wrap, so I consider it factory sealed and absolutely gift-ready. This item contains highly detailed plastic and vinyl parts (and a few screws) to create an impressive replica of the iconic Harley-Davidson V-Twin Custom Thunder Chopper. I use eBay Managed Payments, but I no longer ship internationally. Auction winner pays the winning bid, and for a limited time, I am offering this rare item with $8 Flat Rate Shipping in the US! No reserve and a low starting bid. Check out my other great auctions for combined shipping. Good luck! Those familiar with my listings can tell that I really enjoy these products and the modeling hobby. I like to provide more than just the bare facts about the items, trying to lead you into discovering more about the subjects and optimizing your builds (if that is your goal). I started out picking up models that I was interested in, with the eye toward building them when I had time. Always a bargain-hunter, I accumulated many more than I can build, so I found myself in a Collector status (sounds nicer than a hoarder). As I am sure you have noticed, my items are almost always sealed and in mint condition (I call them Gift-Ready), since I only open them when I am ready to build them. Now I enjoy making these products available to my fellow modelers; both Builders and Collectors. For the Builders, there are probably better (at least cheaper) ways to add to your project lists than buying from me, but you know you are getting top quality. For Collectors, my goal is to save you a few bucks over the competition for the same item in factory sealed and collectible (or resellable) condition.
