This model comes with all possible attachments for. It has two pairs of short range AA missiles and one pair of external fuel tanks for the wings and then it has another two pairs of medium range AA missiles and a center line fuel tank for the fuselage.

The maker of the model, Hobby Master, really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very crisp and one can see the little dots that represent the rivets holding down the panels.

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. 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"
