The missile carts are a little involved, but still simple construction. Again you get two complete models.

If you do enough searches for AIM-9’s you will find images of this exact cart and if you want can add the appropriate tags, tie-downs, pins, cables etc that will really bring the cart to life. No ordnance included with the kit. The figures are depicted muscling a missile towards a pylon. They are nicely done and could be backdated to earlier eras with a little tweakage.

This is a nice accessory that will inject some great supporting detail into your carrier deck or airbase scene (go on…do those figures!). My thanks to LuckyModel.com for generously supplying these kits for review.
