Damaged Missing items prebuilt painted Nichimo 1/200 Battleship Yamato Motorized

Description

Dear Buyer,
Thank you for your interest in my listing,
HUGE kit: over 3 feet (1.3 m) long and weighs over 5 Kgs before packaging and over 7.5 kg after
.  Made of tough plastic.  Shipping (and hence overall cost) is expensive because of weight and size.
This is an old kit which was bought from a 2nd hand shop, so I'm not certain of minute details of it. It appears to be grossly intact and grossly complete.
However,
please take note that when you purchase this kit, you are aware of and agree to the following conditions:
1. There are or may be missing items (eg. deck side railings, ship's stand); I apologize for not being able to check through over 100 parts.  There are many loose parts and as you can see from the photos, the sprues are mostly empty...likely due to most of these parts already used for assembly.
2. There are damaged parts (eg. laurel decoration for the tip of the bow was damaged during transport from the 2nd hand store to me, so I've pieced together the fragments and stuck it down to the deck near the bow with green blue-tac, mounts for the motor-gear seems to be missing in some places on the hull ? appears to have been sheared off.  Anchors are broken.
3. It is partially painted at the hull and for all 4 propellers.
4. There are no decals and only photocopied instructions / parts lists are included.
5. The box is in poor condition
6. Damages may still occur during transport to you even after taking extra precautions at packaging it securely.   That said, I have safely posted several of these kits to other international buyers, and luckily, have not received any adverse feedback.   That is because I use a very tough outer box and lots of padding in and around the kit.
7. Kit sold as is, please see photos.
Please check out my other listings.
Currently, Airmail is available to USA, UK, Australia.
Only seamail to Canada....which will reduce overall costs: please write to me to verify before purchasing.
New UPDATE 14-4-2021:  Even
seamail
is not available for some countries for this oversized (>1.3 m long) parcel eg. USA, New Zealand, South Korea, Brazil, Russia.
So, please write to me first to check if shipping is possible.  Certainly, I can use private couriers such as Fedex/ DHL/ UPS/ TNT, etc but these charge through the roof.  If you want to choose this method, then almost any country can be sent to; please let me know.
As of 15 April: ONLY SEAMAIL is available to many countries (except USA) now due to the global situation.
so,
PLEASE WRITE TO ME FIRST to see if air postal services to your country has been suspended or not.
If you are alright with me posting to you via SEAMAIL (which takes at least 31 working days to reach you), then please proceed to check out.  Otherwise, please contact before buying.  Airmail services to USA as normal.
Other notes: I will be more than happy to discuss anything regarding this item if you have any concerns. Thanks.
1. Please ask all questions BEFORE purchasing. Please review photos closely. From smoke free / Pet free home. I cannot guarantee the condition of sealed items as I am unable to open it for direct checking or else it looses it's value as a sealed item.
2.
All sales are final and returns are not accepted
(unless what you received is not what was listed)
.
These items are from my personal collection which I'm selling due to lack of living space. The price is just enough to cover for eBay's selling fees, Paypal's commission, and sometimes your underpaid shipping fees ( I often pay the small differences out of my own pocket), and the costs of acquiring the items myself. Cancellation of order is acceptable only if it is before the item has been shipped and within the stipulated time given by eBay.
3. Buyer pays for customs/ import taxes / tariffs / duty fees of their own country. Please check with your country's customs office to find out what these extra costs are before buying. These charges are usually collected by the delivering freight or shipping company or when you pick the item up so please do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. Delays in delivery may be customs or postal service related which cannot be controlled.
4.
I will ship within 5-7 days upon receipt of full payment only via PAYPAL.
As of 15 April: ONLY SEAMAIL is available to many countries now due to the global situation.
so,
PLEASE WRITE TO ME FIRST to see if air postal services to your country has been suspended or not.
If you are alright with me posting to you via SEAMAIL (which takes at least 31 working days to reach you), then please proceed to check out.  Otherwise, please contact before buying

Hongkong Post today (January 11) announced that air service to the United Kingdom (UK) is resuming to a limited extent, but as the air traffic capacity provided by airlines is still unable to cope with the posting volume of all airmail services, priority is given to the resumption of e-Express service to the UK from tomorrow (January 12), while other airmail services will continue to be suspended. The weight limit for e-Express service is two kilograms with basic mail tracking data provided.
