The plane came in a huge box via airfreight from Germany. It showed up about a week before Christmas. Here is what it looked like when I unpacked the box, and started looking at the parts. Notice the big box in the background on the floor.

The parts were well made. The entire plane came pre-painted with lots of nice detail.

One of the most difficult parts of making EDF jets is the inlet duct forming. This kit comes with pre-formed inlet ducts, that are very well made.

The outlet ducting is similarly well constructed.

Taileron bearings are pre-installed.

Preformed tailcones.

Interior of the plane is bare. You need to scratch-construct the entire interior yourself. So although this plane is an ARF on the outside....it is definitely not an ARF on the inside.

Notice the detailing of the paint and decaling.

Here is what it looks after press-fitting all the parts together out of the box.
