USS Missouri arrived right on time 9/28.The model was well packed and received with all parts mounted on the spruces. Each spruce was in plastic bags. Very Fire included metal anchor chains and some decals. I was disappointed that the kit only had one photo etch. on the painting guide Very Fire only shows' their paint, it would have been nice to have other choices at your finger tips. over all I can not wait to start this kit but need to complete other projects first
