The flying surfaces and main flaps are all posable on this kit.

The option for the outlet deflectors or the the 25mm GAU-12 gun pod is include din this kit also...
There is a large load of weapons and stores for this kit. Sidewinders, small diameter LGBs, AGM-65 Mavericks & a LITENING II pod for the undersides.
