I'm looking to acquire a built Spinner with working lights. I've seen one from Fujimi but there must be others. Any referrals or recommendations?

I don't think an of the shelf spinner model with working lights exists. Randy Cooper produces a 1:12 scale kit and you can buy a seperate lighting kit. He may do a building service.

I don't know if Randy still build Spinners and if so, it's going to be around $ 3000 for him to do so.
Best is to contact him on his web site. Good luck! |

Thanks for all the replies. I did get a quote from a very reputable builder but it's rather high. Anyone have a thought about this built Fujimi spinner? http://www.ebay.com/itm/182199447930?ul_noapp=true |

I recognize that it took both skill and time to wire the lights....
But that price is criminal IMO. You could get THREE of Randy's kits for that price. That way you have TWO kits to practice on before finally building the THIRD. _________________ Monsieur, azonnal kövessen engem bitte |

LOL. But to be candid, I'm not a builder. I just love BR and enjoy displaying BR props. As much as it is, the price for that auction item will likely end up between a third or half the amount of a quote I was just given for a Cooper build with light kit (though admittedly by a very skilled, reputable builder). With that in mind, is there anything negative about that auction item (beside the price) that I should be aware of? |

It seems to be missing the central dashboard arm, but photos are pretty low res....

Good eye. It does indeed appear to be missing. Oh well. A Coop it will be. |
