Default BME Pitts Challenger

Well the fedex guy delivered a big, brown unmarked box today and inside I found another unmarked box, no frills on graphics. Upon a brief inspection of the kit I found a beautiful fibercowl and wheel pants. BUT.... I was extremely disappointed to find they had covered the ship in a very thin and cheesy red covering of unknown origin. All wood is visible beneath the transparent covering. I may be a bit picky , but when you spend $500.00 for an arf the least they could do is use a reputable covering materiel. Even the red covering (monokote) on my DR-1 from great planes, which was half the price, is very opaque. Very disappointing. I am considering returning the plane only to be out shipping two ways.
