Sorry for the delay in this topic - also the Detailed Kit review will follow
We here in SOS were already able to follow partly the development of the kit
and had also already the chance to the building log by our member @Koreets
So now coming to the unboxing....
First of all, the kit is transported in watertight bag
Opened it and I was the first time surprised - did I order some plywood? Until I realized, that it is an additional cover and protection for the carton box - clever idea, although it is also some additional weight for postage, but it is completely protecting the box
Here you can see, how the box is working - and we modeler always need some plywood in stock
The small scratches on the box happened, when my small daughter wanted to have the plywood (also she has a lot of ideas, what to do with plywood sheets
)
Now let us open the box and we can see additional wrapped and secured bag with timber and manual and a smaller box for the fittings (steam engine)
- plenty of room inside the box - here maybe Piroscaf have some room of optimizations in the future to reduce the box size
The bag with the wooden parts is wrapped with air-bubble folio and additional tape - safe and secure
an additional folio to keep the wood away from any humidity
The wooden parts are more or less all laser cut sheets - on the left side the building cradle / jig and temporary parts - on the first view, very good overall quality of the chosen wood
included is also an english written manual with sketches and parts list, and also a smaller bag with brass photo etched sheets, flag etc.
Here the view inside the box with the steam engine parts and fittings - additional secured against transport damages by some foam blocks
a fast closer look at one of the bags
and also a fast look inside the detailed manual
and last photo is showing the bag with the photo etched parts
Ohhhh, what a really nice kit of a highly interesting vessel
something completely different to the usual kit models and it is looking like a very good quality model
Well done @Piroscaf !!!
A detailed Kit Review with some macro views will follow asap - stay tuned
Look at this beauty
