Excellent rocket kit

Replacement Astron Shrike delivered.
I'm happy to report that I just received my replacement Astron Shrike this afternoon and it is undamaged. Thanks for the prompt service. Suggestion: I noticed that although the large box provides good protection for fragile models, the model was placed on the bottom of the box. It would be better to have it in the middle of the box suspended by the packing on all sides. The Shrike in particular has an 18" BT50 which could be easily damaged by an impact to the bottom of the box which is what probably happened to the original Shrike while being handled by delivery drivers who are frequently in a rush and sometimes toss packages around. Again, thank you for the good service.
