The wings and struts are made of metal. Moreover, the paint scheme and coloring is really well done. The primary red color is done in a glossy finish and covers the entire model.

 

A stand where the model can be attached for display is included and the model's info (type of airplane and scale).

 

Please notice the scale, at 1/63 scale this model is quite small measuring about 4 inches long and 4.5 inches wide of wingspan.

The box is labeled as not recommended for children under 14.
