Do they include external tanks or only rockets and hellfires?

I've got the AH-64D kit and it only comes with 2 rocket pods and 8 Hellfire missiles. Just enough for the basic armament package.

Damn... anyone know if Hase is gonna come out with a weapons set for it? Would only seem fair if the base kit only comes with 2 pods and 8 Hellfires. Are the Hellfires all SAL missiles or are there Radar Hellfires too? Would seem that a mix of the two would be better. It would be cool if you could fit 16 Hellfires, a mix of both SAL and RF, on the kit. Not to mention the aux tanks, which numerous units were using in Iraq to extend their range.

Oh well... one can only hope.... like I'm hoping for Hasegawa to upscale that kit to 32nd/35th. Keepin my fingers crossed.

The Hellfires come in three pieces, one of the main body of the missile, one for the seeker head, and the last one is a clear piece for the window. The kit includes 2 different seeker heads and clear windows for the laser and radar guided versions and Hasegawa included enough pieces so a full load of one type or the other is possible. So you have a lot of flexiblity as far as the missiles go.
