This is a model, not a toy. It is is made for display purposes. Minor assembly is needed for the landing gear and wing/fuselage attachments. It is very fragile and easy to break. Not recommended if one has no experience working with modeling and/or crafts. THIS MODEL INCLUDES A METAL DISPLAY STAND. 1:72 Scale Metal Die-Cast - Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker - Russian Air Force – Length: 11.8" Wingspan: 8” This model is a twin seater and it includes one pilot figure as well as 6 missiles (of 2 different types). It also includes a detailed landing gear as well as the cover of the wheel wells to give the appearance of in-flight. The pilot, missiles and landing gear parts need to be put in place. Patience and care are needed to avoid damage an/or breakage. The wing tip missiles come already glued to the wing tips. The parts that need to be attached/assembled onto the model like the landing gear, wheel well covers and missiles for the wings and fuselage are snap fit (friction fit) and do not required glue, however, one needs to be very careful are pieces are very fragile and could break. The cockpit canopy can open and close and like the assembly pieces, one needs to be very careful when moving it as it is very fragile and could easily break. This is a limited edition model with a total of 600 pieces. A card similar to a credit card is included in which it has the serial number for the model. This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14. The box measures 11.5 inches by 11.5 inches by 4 inches.
