Do you sell completely built models?
Sorry, but I sell the kits only. Completely built models can be quite costly due to the labor involved. If you are interested and willing to spend the extra money, I can establish a contact to someone willing to build models.

Where can I get spare tracks for the Graupner PistenBully?
The original tracks from Graupner are breaking between the studs due to age. As the original tracks are no longer available, Pistenking re-produced them. They can be purchased at Pistenking.

Which color should I use?
I used "Ferrari Red" from Revell airbrush colors. You may also use fire red spray cans. Both colors do not match the color of the original exactly. Some customers bought the original color from Kaessbohrer or had it mixed in a color store.

Where can I get a Graupner PistenBully?
The only chance is via the German eBay site (www.ebay.de), here are some offered occasionally. The price range is Euro 100.00 - 300.00, depending on condition and accessories. Pay attention to good condition of the wheels and suspension (nothing broken or repaired), gear box (gears showing no wear) and tub without damage. Ask the seller! The other parts are not important if you want to upgrade with blade, body kit and tiller. The Graupner tracks are almost always broken or damaged due to their age, but luckily the Kyosho Blizzard tracks will fit (see question further above). 

Where can I get a Kyosho Blizzard?
The Blizzard is recently out of production. A much better chassis can be bought at Pistenking.
