This model is made of metal. It's already assembled and painted. However, pieces like the landing gear and missiles or the wings need to be assembled in place. These pieces are held by friction (snap fit, no glue is needed.

A display stand is included.

This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It also 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.
