Going by the Maquis Fighter model, pre-painting is definitely minimal.
They include a stand, and the Maquis ship doesn't look out of place in
the standard GZG universe. 2 inches long.
The illustration on the packaging is the same as for the larger kit.
There is a lot less detail moulded onto the model.
