I just got this replica today in the mail. Upon opening I was immediately satisfied. It looks outstanding with the multicam paint job that it came with. I charged my 9.6 volt battery so I could get a few rounds off at my target. When I was finished charging I was frustrated because it is difficult to remove the rubber padding where the battery compartment is and I had to resort to using my teeth to open it as neither my hands or trying to pry it open with a flathead screw driver worked. The battery compartment is exceptionally small and my battery wouldn't fit so I had to use a 8.4 volt which works fine. The built in scope has 3x magnification and is calibrated accurately upon delivery. From about 50 feet I was able to hit the bullseye on my target (about 5 inches across) 7 out of 10 times. The firing mechanism is what really sold me on this gun and it didn't disappoint. You pull back the trigger 1/2 of the way to fire semi-auto and you pull the trigger back all the way for full auto. I had another barrel for the gun and changing the barrel is very easy and can be done in less than 30 seconds. I put my 14 inch barrel on (it comes with a 20 inch one) and it was almost just as accurate (bullseye 6 times out of 10) The only problems I have are with the battery compartment size and the magazine that it comes with has feeding issues so I will get some more midcaps that feed properly. I clocked it at 420 FPS with .2 bbs. Overall 9/10.

Nice summary of your first impressions of the gun. For it to be a legit review, you're definitely going to want to add pictures (lots of them) and break it down into categories like externals, internals, etc. On that topic, while it's good that you quantified the accuracy you should consider a more in depth performance review including ROF, trigger response, and FPS consistency (assuming you have the equipment to do that). Also, obviously you can't do a durability/reliability assessment since you just got the gun, but in a few months come back and update this review to explain how the gun has worked over time. Good start though; I've seen much worse "reviews" than this.
