The model arrived after a long delay on backorder (a few months). Pilots HQ was always pretty fast with a response when asked for updates, etc.
The issue is that the model arrived with the pre-drilled holes being misaligned, so that you could not assemble the wooden base to the metal stand. Fortunately, I had the tools available to somewhat fix the issue, but others may not.
