My fuselage kit showed up today. I wasn’t home when the driver showed up, but Jenn opened the garage door and the driver placed the kit inside.
My buddy Andre stopped by tonight and we cracked the crate open.
Van’s does a great job of packing these crates so there’s no wasted space. About the only empty space in the whole crate was inside the rolled up skins on the left here.
We unwrapped all of the parts and stacked them around the garage. My workbenches are completely covered now.
A bunch more parts are stacked on my other workbench.
And parts are leaned up against the wings.
…or set on the floor.
The pile of paper and cardboard is pretty substantial. My son Matthew thought the empty crate was a great thing to play in.
Here is the inventory. 10 sheets with probably 30 items each.
I made it through all of the larger parts and placed them up on my shelves. I still have to inventory all of the small bags, but that can wait until tomorrow. So far I’ve only found a couple of items that were supposed to be in one subkit but weren’t. I’ll see if they happened to be placed in one of the bags, but otherwise I’ll have to call Van’s about them. There were also a couple of backordered items, so I’ll need another shipment from them anyway.
