Default New Boxes For Inflight 200 Models

My newest Inflight 200 models shipped with new decorative outer sleeves over the standard white box. Does any out there know how to properly open these? They look as if they should slide off...but the fit is very tight. I hate to cut them unless I have to.

Firmly placing each palm on each side of that new "cover/graphic wrapping",then pushing the box out underneath that wrapping with my thumbs and voila.... Ready to inspect the jewel inside. I'll most likely receive
another Inflight200 replica tomorrow.It's gonna be interesting to see if same method can be applied.........

Thumbs up Mark: Great Release

The way I did it was to hold the box with the opening facing down. The I let gravity with a gentile shake of the box slide the inner box out. If you do this on a sofa/couch the model will not be damaged. Great model and a nice cover for the box. I'm looking forward to the next jungle livery.
