Here's some info on what goes into the build and some features

Full Scale AIM-9X Sidewinder Missile
Based on 5" aluminum tubing, 1/4" wall
The entire model comes apart and can easily be put back together
There are over 120 individual parts, and over 350 fasteners
Rear wings rotate
Rear wings are removable, they are held in with ring magnets and a short steel shaft
The paint is Sherwin Williams Aerospace Military Coating, it's the paint they use on the real Sidewinders. It's 2 part urethane
The seeker camera is on a 3d printed gimbal, it rotates and angles up and down
Thrust vectoring vanes rotate
Targeting section has Lexan windows, real photosensors, and a real computer chip(it's a USB module, you can see the port), these are nonfunctioning
The arm/safe switch pulls up and rotates
All of the visible and most nonvisible, fasteners are National Aerospace Standard NAS
The length, the wingspan, fin span, and main body tube are exact dimensions to the real AIM-9X Sidewinder. These are known dimensions
All of the hangers height from center point, width are identical to the real AIM-9X Sidewinder
The missiles fits the real LAU launcher, I have one and test fit them
You can mount it on any fighter that's equipped to hold a Sidewinder
Some critical parts are bonded using 3M DP420, you would break the metal before the bond
All 3D Printed parts are printed using 3DXtech CarbonX Carbon Fiber PLA filament(carbon strands, not carbon powder)
All decal content, size, and location is accurate
All aluminum is first cleaned with Bonderite acidic cleaner, then conversion coated using a Bonderite conversion coating
