Hi all:

I have a 12 year old kid and he is flying on a Nitro trainer since about a year. He now wants to buy a foam 3D plane as he is bored with the trainer. I have searched the Indian online stores and tried to get hold of any of the following.

Multiplex Acromaster,
FMS Extra 300 3D ,
Zeta Science 43.3" Extreme 3D EPO,
Staufenbiel Red Bull Edge 540, 

and many others but they are not in stock.

I wanted to know, if you know 1) where I can find them in India or 2) is it possible to buy and import the above model from international online stores (US, UK, Dubai). If they can be imported (is it allowed or it is restricted), what is the duty I will need to pay? The price is around USD 300 for the foam kit. I already have the TX/RX and the batteries so I don't need those.

I am based in Mumbai. I am also open to buying a used one if any of you want to sell it.

Any suggestions?
