Default Interesting model on the block

There's an early 1/10 Seiki Tiger I up for grabs. It's dated surely being from the 1970s, I suspect fairly early 1970s.
Detail is minimal, tracks aren't to scale but the construction is first rate on these models; most all parts were very well engineered
and executed. This example is glow (gas) powered with an engine displacement that's not readily discernible. The gearbox
is of a type I'm assuming is an early type unlike any of my own; it appears quite complex. It's possible that this was a conversion from an electric version but I'm not sure; some aspects; the right hand exhaust 'stack' is particularly wonky and definitely not OEM.

Still on the whole it would be fun to get into but I haven't the space or time. It would be fun for someone and is a great basis for more contemporary upgrades and details. This listing has been there a while. There's another one listed for more than twice the asking on this one and I believe it's in worse condition.
