Moving along quickly. I predict it will be a 'top of the line' kit!

Agree with your comment Jim. Looks like it will be a very high quality kit.

Certainly shaping up to be a benchmark kit !
Just gave my piggybank a quick shake, not much of a rattle.
Just as well its coming in three parts.

The quality is so good, that it is hard to see, if this is a 3D-rendering or real timber - Great

I think it is the same timber the stem pieces were made, Chinese boxwood (Jubie), The edges are so crips and even.

No, Chinese boxwood and jujube are different wood.

Many thanks for your descriptive and informational answer, Dahai. Century leave, Century learn!

This is surreal what you guys at DaHaimodel do. If this turns into a kit, I don't know what to call other "kits" made of cheap plywood and basswood strips. Stunning!

 

[Bryian]

Jim, the timber is called Golden Tang wood.
