This model includes a pilot and crew figures. The canopy cannot open or close, instead two canopy pieces are included, one for each position. One has to be very careful as to not damage/break the canopy. The landing gear is optional, one can attach the landing gear or cover the wheel wells. A display stand is included. 

 

This model comes with a variety possible attachments. Some missiles are already attached to the model, but some fuel tanks, missiles and fuel tanks are optional.

 

The maker of the model, Hobby Master, really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very crisp.

 

This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14.


The package measures 11" x 11" x 4"
