Got mine yesterday. It's an amazing kit. I'm going to completely echo what Troy commented on. Especially the size! There's no sense in repeating what he already posted so, I'll just throw up a couple of different photos that I took.
Was giddy when I got home from work and saw this stuck inside our storm door.

Box was packed VERY well!

The only casualty I had was the base, it had a very small crack in it, but it can be easily fixed simply with some CA glue. I think eventually I'll try my hand at building a launch tube, so down the road, I may find another use for it since it's an amazing piece.

Here's the full kit completely unpacked and laid out.

Not only does the clear resin pilot look great, but so did the clear resin cockpit. Mine is just a little skewed, but nothing that a bit of heat won't take care of.

Bottom line, I couldn't be happier with the kit. This will be the largest kit that I've put together and will also be trying to light this beast. Jase, congrats on an amazing model and I can't thank you enough for making these available! I'm looking forward to seeing some build threads!
