Wow! $202.
I guess that is a benchmark for 20 size Japanese classics these days.
Note to buyer: They are built like a tank! 1/8" sides + 1/8" ply doublers! All formers are 1/8" ply (not lite-ply). A little re-engineering prior to building is something to think about.

Actually, once all was said and done, they came out costing more than I expected. The shipping was steep.
Just trying to decide how to proceed with them... I was thinking of building one electric and one glow. As mentioned though - they are built like tanks! I'm surprised at how much use there is of 1/8" ply - solid stuff. I could probably bolt a screaming 45 into them without them breaking a sweat (not that I will).
But, as may be known, they were purchased (I only wanted one but there was no split) for re-engineering purposes and to be added to the Prettner 20 size conservation collection. Aside from the Curare, and the Magic, we should have a Supra Fly and a Mystic. Hopefully that will conclude the off shoots though as the work load is already substantial.
