Mine made it in yesterday. Sorry, no pics yet. It was a very busy evening for me. I'll get a few pics up later. In the meantime, I did open it to check that nothing got messed up during shipment, and I can say I'm very pleased with it. It looks great and seems to be very well made. The website says assembly time is less than one hour. Trust me, if you have a battery charged and ready to install, you'll be making waves in less than half an hour. This thing is ready to go in the box. All the lights and the radome mast with its support lines are already installed. The two antennas in the front need to be put in place; just push them down into the holes. Simple. The flag seems to be pretty well made. You peel the backing off and fold it on the post. However, I'm going to save that flag and try something else because I think it's a bit large. The guns are green, and only the barrels are black, but that's an easy fix with some model paint. Also, I need to get some feed chutes for the .50's in the front turret. I haven't put the stand together yet. I want to buy the recommended glue. Like I said, absolutely no complaints. It's awesome and I'm really excited about having something in my collection that looks nice on display, and can get out running and gunning on the water.
