They want sixty quid for it!  That's what Takom are asking for the G6, and that's overpriced too, but you could fit the Rooikat inside it.  Anyone who can point me to a cheap source for either will be a very nice person.

Hobby Easy in Hong Kong are selling it for GBP 29.45 + post

G6 seems to be out of stock everywhere, will have a chat with my contacts at Takom and see when they are likely to do another production run

Manufacturer won't share anything, to be fair it's still in service and they can't release technical information without approval from the SA Government and that's not likely to be forthcoming... I'm still pushing for it though and hopefully sales on the Rooikat will make them the idea a serious look...  have a couple of possible angles for reference still open to me

Interesting. I know it’s still in service but it is hardly state of the art. Why the SA govt wouldn’t let someone measure one up is beyond me but I am not surprised they won’t.

There’s one in the Saxonwold museum isn’t there??
