Huge decal sheet... Might be troublesome to apply. I'd be tempted anyway. I had that model and it was one of my better looking ones at the time. It would also be prime for building a Saros.

I already have 2 Nomad kits and I was also thinking "Saros".
The Saros was produced in larger numbers over a longer time, but they go for far more $$. Seeing as this one is opened, it's a builder.

It’s not particularly a kit I am after, but the Nomad does not seem to surface all that often.
I know others have spoken of the stability issues that could sometimes occur with the Saros, and so I wonder if this repackaged version of the Saros parts in a longer rocket was a way to solve some of those stability problems. I built a Saros several years ago and though I have not flown it as of yet, it’s fin area does seem a bit skimpish. Earl

I always add insurance. The USPS won't allow for insurance for packages mailed to Canada, unless it's a crazy expensive value not worth it for a kit. I learned this the sort of hard way, sweated out that a $100+ kit made it to Canada safely. Don't want to run those risks again. Sorry.
