Howdy gang!
I received my (off topic) Trumpeter Leopold Railway gun last week. Sheesh! It's huge :-)
There was also a bunch of other stuff in there.
Have fun!

This terrible 'accident' wasn't caused by the Mrs. waiting in ambush upon your arrival home now was it?

If that box had arrived at MY home it wouldn't be a box my "Mrs" would have hit me with. To paraphrase a Rebulican politician, she'd be asking "how do you reload this damn thing."

Hi. good photo. And I see you haven't even opened the box up yet. You may be down there on the ground once again when you see all those parts inside. That big box is absolutely, completely, full of parts!!! No spare space in there what-so-ever.
Take care, sgirty

Too funny!! I think I'm going to look like that when my big order comes in from the distributor. My leasing agents here at the apartment won't know what to think when they get boxes with about 25 kits plus other items!!

Nice one CBRent. I inspected the trumpeter kit two weeks ago and my mouth is still watering.
My wife actually proposed she buy this for christmas for me ........ she rang me up at work last tuesday to ask what the box looked like ..... she went into the model shop to get it for me early ...... when they didnt have it she bought me the latest Military modelling....... not all wives are the same ...... so now you know in advance, you should look for the right sort of wife!

This is no exaggeration....... its hard to get the parts in again after taking them out.And I see you haven't even opened the box up yet.

...nice photo Brent, did you remeber to Email it to your attorney for evidence in your lawsuit against Roll Models for not putting a warning label on the box!?!
.............." Contents of box can be hazardous to your safety if #1, you try to move without an available motorized lifting device. And #2, if your wife see's the box before you do!"...........................................
Good one Brent.
