The main kits comprise of  36 resin components and the new style crystal clear resin canopy, also on this kit there is a fret of 12 Photo Etched parts for added detailing.Assembly and painting instructions are also included.  The 'Variable Geometry' wings are not articulated, so it would probable best to establish the angle you wish to display and fix them at the degrees required.
