Has anybody seen one of these in the metal?

Now if say, Tonkin would produce the 777g!

......please?

Ha Ha Ha Gavin......I realize you've never been too concerned when I've talked about prices of models and what I can and can't afford. lol
CCM would undoubtedly have a higher price tag.
Quite honestly I think Tonkin would be a great fit. I haven't easily understood the complaints others have had with the 775 model. Either they just got a lemon or have far too high a standard.
I bought three of them and even though a mirror came loose from one while unboxing it and another had one of the stirrup steps knocked off I think they're great pieces.......one of my favorites. I have gotten plenty of models from all the various makers with some sort if flaw over my years of collecting and personally have come to realize that it's part of the way things go. Anything too severe and yeah I'd want a refund or replacement etc.
CCM is a wonderful model maker no doubt but truthfully I think Tonkin deserves some credit and I for one have looked their price point and most all of their 1/50 lineup.

Ha I couldn't get my greasy hands on one in the second go round of 777 bliss which was produced by CCM. And I really don't want to play that game again.
Remember CCM did a 777 already and while they are doing some modern pieces, it's mostly been the classic plant.
I really feel like TONKIN is a close competitor in detail, fit and finish. And with their pricing point and production numbers I could actually get my hands on a couple for what I would spend on a CCM.
Sorry that I simply can't just agree with you guys.
I think Tonkin could do up the 777G quite right and it would still fit within their current theme of CAT models.
I'll be hoping quite desperately that I get my way lol

Martin,

Since you will not buy one at our host simply because the taxes will be too high=>:-< (a problem for a lot of people in the Euro zone). And the Dollar/Euro rate is not in our favour Might be an option to buy the Cat 6020 at one of the dealers on the mainland. Prices should be around the same as the us dollar so I expect them between 580 an 600 euro. With the current euro/pound rate (600 euro is around 436 pound) it could be interesting to buy them on the mainland. The German dealers (except Spiel+modellkist’l but he is way to expensive) don’t have their prices up yet but they will come soon. I don’t expect that the prices between the German dealers will vary a lot because they do talk to each other so there is not much completion.

Cheapest seen at a French dealer for a price: €549,95
