A complete disaster, as Jean-Pierre rightly feared.
Even before opening the box, the artwork worryingly says it is United SE 210 Caravelle III. UAL only operated the VI R, a variant specifically designed to meet the airline requirements.
The debacle continues after unboxing.
Small cockpit windows. A real show stopper, considering the larger windows were introduced to satisfy FAA visibility requirements.
Underwing airbrakes are located within the flaps. Overwings airbrakes are not at the correct location either.
Not sure about the overwing emergency evacuation markings - they might have been there at the end of the Caravelle career at UAL, I have yet to find the photographic evidence.
