Box art:
Sides:
The stand it came with. Decal was already applied when I bought the kit.
Instruction guide (all 4 steps on one page) and decals.

The kit is complete with no parts missing.
This was the part I assembled before I decided not to go any further - top and bottom views of assembled wing part

While I was finding this old kit, I found this freebie book I had gotten from work a few years ago:

Revell sure did know how to make awesome box art back in the day.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
