Planes and aircraft are not included. This set is normally priced allot higher, please read below as to the reasons I have lowered the price of this kit. I took allot of time to inventory the parts, I have taken pictures to correspond with my findings. Picture 16 shows Pack B to be fully complete, 2 pieces were punched out but are in new condition. Picture 17 shows Pack E to be fully complete, 2 pieces were punched out but are in new condition. Pictures 18 and 19 and 20 show pack C, this is the pack with the one missing piece. First, 3 other pieces have been punched out and partially attached to each other. I say partially because the adhesive is no longer keeping the pieces together. Technically, these 3 punched pieces are “Used”. Once again, pack C is missing one piece, piece #27, that does not appear to be critical, see picture 20 which shows the instruction and the missing piece. I LITERALLY MEANT THAT. The last picture shows that the kit is missing the planes and their stickers. Picture 21 shows the final page of the instruction book with the missing plane components. I have circled them in red. As for the box, the front image is in excellent condition, the overall box is structurally sound. But does have some wear to it. I would give the box a 85 out of 100.
