Well look what just washed ashore in the Southern United States! The Antique Viper is here!
Parts were packed extremely well and arrived without any apparent breakage. In fact, they were wrapped in bubble pack so well that it seemed a shame to unwrap them - they just seemed so safe!
There are some heavy chunks of resin in here; but all castings have sharp details and I can't find any apparent bubbles in inconvenient locations. There is resin "flash" on some details (see the photo of the pilot) but nothing unexpected nor difficult to clean up.
The clear resin cockpit was warped; it's a thin part and I'm sure the stress of being packed in around other parts simply compressed it a bit. A few seconds (literally) with a hair dryer and I had it straightened out. A bit of trimming on the excess resin from the pour stub and it will be a simple and perfect fit in the cockpit tub.
Look at the detail on those engine nozzles! Woo hoo!
Highly recommended, everyone. Get yours while they're hot !!
