JC Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 The best way to open the end flaps on the box without tearing them is to slide something thin like a knife in vertically from the top or bottom just at the corner and gently prise it out. Otherwise the way the flaps are designed to interlock means there is a pretty good chance of tearing the endflap it you just pull on it like jas did in the video. I like to keep all the packaging in as good condition when opening the boxes, so I always unwind the wires carefully with a pliers and store them in the box along with the little plastic things they are threaded through. I find that it doesn't take that long to remove the model carefully, certainly in comparison to how long you are going to have it sitting on your shelf!! UH models can be difficult though because they are so delicate. We discussed this with the 6600, unlike most people though, I have a tendancy to throw the box's away, even dealer box's....... Much to the disgust of Barry and inspector clueso..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james f Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 how do i post a video?? who ever said you had to be delicate with a uh model?? MUHAHAHAHA Never said you had to BE delicate with them, I said they ARE delicate. If you want to smash them up just getting them out of the box after paying for them that's your own business ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIWINZ Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 only 1 problem with all this mindless vandolism if you get it out of the box really quickily and youve ruind the tie downs and it turns out to be broken some shops wont take the product back as its not possible to secure it for transit back to the depo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
