My kit finally arrived from Australia so I was really impatient to see it after such a long travel. First obstacle was to get it out of the truck and through the doors - be advised, the crate is close to 5 meters long and over 300 kg heavy, you should plan well your unloading - luckily someone next door helped me with a forklift and my doors were large enough, barely... the crate fit through the doors just 2 centimeters on each side). The crate finally inside (left it just near the door since the forklift had some problems advancing) I started unpacking it and finally I managed to see with my own eyes what I have seen in other people's pictures before... my kit neatly packed inside the crate. Next step was to make an inventory of all parts I have received (the crate was damaged during transport and some parts are missing), I had difficulties in correctly identifying some of the parts so I thought since I already went through this, it would be useful to post here the parts name as written in the dispatch list and a photo of them, might come in handy for other people who buy the kit. The order in which I will post the photos is the order in which I found them in the dispatch list, starting with fuselage parts then wing parts (please bear in mind that some of the parts are missing right now due to the damage received during transport).
