Gift for Grandson

I had bought an Advanced Mini Rocket Launch Set for the Grandson for a Birthday Gift that will not be until July. But got to thinking that I may build the Advanced Mini myself so we can do a demonstration on the day of his Birthday and get him this Beginners Mini Mod for him to build. Everything thing in the package looks good and the shipping went great.
