Well, after 8 months it arrived!!!

I think WOW pretty much covers it! It's BIG and if you can't find any bubble wrap in any shops for the next few months it's because Skygate used it all to pack my model up!!!! Pretty much filled my workshop with the stuff

I went for pretty much every option they offer and to say there is a lot of bags and bits is an understatement!! Standard German kit though - all these bits and no instructions, just a few pics on a CD

Yes, I'm a Comp-ARF rep but that doesn't stop me acknowledging quality! Wanted a big scale model but just couldn't quite afford our big twin Mig-29

There still seems to be an awful lot to do even after having spent the best part of £600 on their 3 build stages they offer!!!

Anyway, the best part of a new model is always unpacking it so here's what came out the myriad boxes/bubble wrap!.....

Rgds,
Mark

Spent a while familiarising myself with all the parts today and started out my getting the front and rear fuselage sections setup for a strong yet quick to separate joint. 4 captive nuts and 6 locating pins do the job.

With the fuse together for the first time I remember just how much bigger this model is indoors than in the middle of an airfield
