I wonder what that audio cassette tape is for? :scratch: I wonder what language it’s in. I’m guessing Japanese.
Have you ever noticed when you buy furniture made in an Asian country, more often than not the few English sentences they use to explain the illustrations, don’t quite make sense? Either the wrong words are used, or letters are missing from words, or sometimes words are missing altogether.
If you’re the type who finds those kind of directions frustrating, you wouldn’t even want to tackle these… 😉

I’ve never been into assembling models, and I sure wouldn’t want to start with this one. This is clearly one designed for advanced modelers.

There seem to be a lot of very small pieces here.

If you’re good at putting together models, or just want to keep this model kit the way it is, the Buy It Now price for this tenor saxophone model is $61.00. However, you’ll have to act fast, because the sale of this saxophone collectible is to end 3 days from now. (Today is Nov 3, 2012)
Update: I wonder if one of the readers of this site bought this interesting little model? It sold for the BIN price of $61.00 on the same day I wrote this article (Nov. 3). As a matter of fact, when I checked the auction shortly after I posted this auction, the item was already sold. 😮
Holy shit!
I need to have the Chinese patience to tackle that!
