11/05/2019 - Finish kit inventory - 4h

After receiving the kit, it's time to count and check the inventory list.

There's a ton of wrapping paper inside this box which will become usefull later when masking and painting the aircraft so decided not to throw it away but store it.

Eh voila, there's the sliding canopy.

Wheelpants, tires and fairings.

And here's a view on some of the welded steel parts which are used for the engine mount, canopy sliding frame and front wheel springs.

The inventory was complete and no damage to any parts. Unbelievable how well this is organised by Vans.
