If you can wait for a short time I have a feeling there is at least one member here that will be repro-ing them soon.

Does anyone have a picture of one painted as it always looks strange to me in the ebay advert, I can't work out which body it is :?

It also looks strange painted :) I have a opened thread in this section called "870C Hirosaka style resto" or something. This is the one i'd like to replace with an original or repro yoke one later.
