The BD-5 is a lifeboat for the C-17, right?

I had the same thoughts - great minds or what ? 
Yo, that's not a bad idea!!! I'd be likely to turn the C-17 into crammed packed passenger airliner anyway so it would be suitable. Or perhaps it could ACTUALLY be a flying cruise ship or something.

Well, from a good day of kits arriving to a bad day. This another thing I bought with my hard fought lawn mowing money. When I bought it, it looked like this:



What I got, was this pile of garbage:


OK, so, I'm a collector, too. If I wanted a Concorde to build, I could have gotten one half the price of this but I wanted the glorious box!!! I was going to stick it up on my wall where my other kits I enjoy to look at are sitting. Oh well. I'm not sure I should raise a stink or not. It was shipped in one of them flimsy bubble wrap envelopes but then again if the parcel service crushes things it isn't necessarily the senders fault. Also, I hate to even mess with stuff like this so I'm contemplating just tossing it into the stash and trying find another to buy.
All that said, this is my first Concorde so I'm happy to have it... it just cost too much.
