browsing japanese websites for paper models (and a xls sheet with links)

[The-EDSEL]

The only problem with gargle translated pages is that Most of the time
I have found that download links Do NOT work on them.
It Is a Clickable link, but Does NOTHING.
Have they fixed that or are they still too interested in $$

First do we have any members from japan as i found out about a car model for sale as a printed booklet for sale item only to find that it is sold only thru amazon/japan but according to UPLIFT not for sale outside japan but listed in japanese on amazon/japan? i first need to give my credit card to find out if this is true. UPLIFT says come to Japan and you can buy from us! maybe this is site for Japan airlines? NO JOKE!!!

"Mitsubishi Fuso" is a truck line that is now a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Daimler Trucks.

[The-EDSEL]

Yes
Mitsubishi, and Fuso are Brand names
that also do Joint builds
or Co-named builds

I have seen many named Fuso only
as well as many Mitsubishi only

Chrysler had a deal wit Mitsubishi during the 70's and 80's for Plymouth Arrow and Dodge Colt's

People in anime/manga fandoms often use proxy/deputy services to buy items that aren't available outside of Japan. The service will buy things and send them to you. Treasure-japan.com is one of those services. (Note I've never used them).

never knew of such websites who will buy items for you and sell them to you...with the commission fee in mind, the budget is very limited if you want to avoid custums fees and other taxes when the items are sent to you.
forgot about this one time, and the bargain from ebay turned out a bit more expensive......

to avoid making that mistake again, i called dutch custums services and they told me you have to pay fees and taxes for anything you buy from a company outside the european union that's worth more than 22 or 23 euro's.....however, if you recieve gifts the fees and taxes start when the item is worth more than 42 or 43 euro's....
