Storing Kits to the Limit (Part 1 of 2)

Well, my items from SMJ arrived today (Partially). They've been sitting in the warehouse for awhile now because I wanted to do one big shipping instead of multiple little ones. Anyways, the storage time limit was up and I had no choice but to request shipping for just 6 kits.



This is only 3 kits. Canada customs went easy on me (?) this time.



No complaints here.



Finally, my very first legitimate Vispo kit. Still in the process of building my Vispo Morte recast (Been a year and a half now; it is my first kit afterall). Morte's a devil and she's also a recast - it's kinda fitting but I will be getting my hands on an original.

There's just something special about Vispo kits. Even the box feels amazing to hold.



The finished product is always so misleading. I realize this is a 1/7 kit, but damn is the box tiny.



This looks decent size-wise, but it's actually quite a bit smaller than all my other Volks 1/4 kits.



The kits in their full glory. Man, I can't wait for the remaining 3 to arrive.
