The maker of the model, DeAgostini, really did a good job with the model, the panel lines and details are very clear and crisp. These models are Japanese imports, so the branding and lettering on the packaging are in Japanese. These models come enclose two plastic transparent shells and these shells go inside a window box. The box measures 9" by 6.5" by 2.25" These models are not toys, they will not last long if played with.
