My three new "ready to run" Rapido X31A boxcars turned out to be surprise kits!

The undecorated models are listed by Rapido as kits, not RTR.

When I pre-ordered them.. way back, way-way back... they were listed as ready to run. I guess plans changed over time.

I prefer them as kits, that is why I described it as a "surprise" and not anything bad.
