    Wait a few more months and for $245 you will be able to get a vastly superior model of the 81 from Austrains

    Having not seen the RTR version, I could not comment on the weight. The M/W unit comes in a a very light 189 grams.

    The 49 is resting on a pack of chewing gum to keep the weight centred, but has been accounted for (scale was tared with the chewing gum pack on). 232g less the weight of the metal sprues (metal pack is 9g), say 4g.
