BG had made the effort to plain wrap the EPO crate & its printed cardboard cover / lid, with 2.5mm thick, open cell packaging sheet / wrap, held in place by continuously running parcel tape around (all over) the whole carton. On the parcel`s outside, was a appropriately worded declaration (thankyou BG), but no Fragile & or Top Load Only stickers. All of the BF-109 components were there & had been correctly stacked & secured in its crate. All electrics / electronics work well, also now it features a Pilot . Its a great looking representation of a BF-109, so it was a bit disappointing to find it had suffered some crush damage in shipping, to the Rudder (located at end of crate) & one Wing (located top of crate, just beneath the lid). I hope, time & heat will be enough to repair this. Recently I received a similar item, from another supplier, it was shipped from the FMS factory (in China) to me (in NZ), arrived undamaged & uncrushed. The crate (with lid) was inside a close fitting, plain heavier corrugated cardboard box, with just FMS printed either side. Box suffered no crushing, just a slight rip, it also had no Fragile or Top Load Only stickers. Maybe BG could ship this fantastic model aircraft, in a similar manner from this time on !
