Hi there

Opening the box to review HobbyBoss's new helo kit - the Tiger UHT, I was stunned to discover this:



The canopy isn't just sealed in its own plastic bag... it's wrapped in protective foam!



Stunning! This is a standard mainstream 1/72 scale kit. Could this be the start of a new trend? I hope so.

All the best

I've run across that in one or two kits myself, it would be nice if they all came that way.

Hi Chuck

After my recent experience with battered and bruised clear parts, this was almost like a dream come true!

All the best

That probably costs more and requires more effort than supplying correct instructions. Amazing, isn't it.

Could be nice detail from the manufacturers side

Hopefully it will start a trend among manufacturers......
