Information from 3D Printing: 
"Yes we are offering all our 1:500 models in two formats. On a Sprue as a kit of parts and Solid. 'Solid' means 'Assembled' ... so the models come as a single object not on a sprue for assembly. They will be printed inside a cage to help protect them during transport but they are a single piece. I have attached an image of the SAAB 2000 model both on a sprue and as a solid model to help clarify this item."
