The kit box is nice packed, with all the major parts well packed in a light foam wrap and clear plastic bags. Slots in the interior cardboard held all items tightly in place, so it will produce no damage from shipping. Included with the kit are fuel tanks, engine mounts, wheels, hardware, pushrods, clear plastic canopy and nose cone, decal sheet, one-piece fiberglass cowls, and fixed wire landing gear plus other necessary hardware. You will need to purchase some building supplies, engines, spinners, servo extensions, and a radio. Mechanical retracts are an interesting option to consider for this plane kit. The quality of the materials is excellent with a one-piece fiberglass fuselage/fin straight and true. The instruction manual has excellent-quality step-by-step drawings. With an 4-stroke engine installed, this P40 Plane will fly, feel, and sound like the legendary Tiger Shark from World War 2.
