Updated on the unboxing before the build starts proper. Checking on the broken parts and any missing parts.

This design is very different from the Commander C2 kit. This has lot lesser parts, less intricate details compared to the C2.

Started on the build proper. Continue to compare the 2 kits, C2 and MRZR in their design and building steps.
