    1. I've not measured it Kev, but I'd say it's got a wing span of about 17" and the body is about 18" with the heat shield. It is very much more of a toy than a model. It doesn't need painting and comes with some nice decals. It's motorized and just like on the big screen, the wings, MEV and heat shield all click together.

  2. Thanks. It looks a lot better than the little one that they did.

    1. Yes indeed, a totally different animal. The small one is a nice novelty Zero X. It doesn't have an actual MEV as I recall. The heat shield is spring loaded and flicks off.
