The box is fairly large for the amount of plastic inside and the box artwork is beautiful. The parts are molded in typical Hasegawa light grey styrene on 4 large sprue trees, there is one small sprue in light tan that comprises the pilot figure and the option for 3 different heads, and one sprue of clear parts. Some of the parts were loose from the tree inside their bags and the bag for the clear sprue was open and the spure was out of the bag inside the box. There does not appear to be any scratches or damage to any of the loose pieces. There are decal options for two different aircraft, both in the dark IJN dark green and grey-green scheme. The surface detail of the cockpit parts are wonderful and there are decal options available to use on the instrument panel if so desired. Surface detail comprises of both recessed and raised detail. Take a look at the pictures below. The pictures may not be the best quality, for that I apologize, they were all taken on my phone.

Theres a little flash on some of the engine parts, nothing major and some careful cleanup and they'll be fine.
