This kit looks like soooo many retail stores I've seen all over:

Probably not easy to get here though. :|

[Note: I just noticed this kit is made out of paper, although it does mention laser, so maybe it's really card stock]

changed scale icon from Z to N, link points to a 1/150 kit. -gfh

Of course it's made out of paper -- just like so many old structures in Japan, to avoid earthquake damage!

Oh neat!
If you want one, you should email Shane at MBK, I know he's into bringing in useful stuff like that (see their big selection of Tomix stuff).

Probably through their "official US distributor" Walthers.

Why not just order it directly from that link?

I went through a few screens there and I think I figured out the shipping rules.  That kit weight is only 102g and says it can be shipped SAL Small Packet.  According to their rate chart, it would cost about $4 to ship, $8 if you want it registered with tracking.  The kit itself is about $20 US.
