DCU's A6's did not come with anything but vacuum forming, ten foot long one piece fuse and foam wing core, vertical fin and stab, nothing more... There were two movie 6's with retracts made by Matrix Machine at the tune of 14# each.

My movie A6 was gifted to me by fellow Bomber Field member, Barry Raborn. Barry had been gifted it from the owner of the Houston special effects company contracted to the John Millis film "The Flight Of The Intruder". It had been horribly damaged in a hurricane that came ashore in Kema, TX. (See pix below).

I bought an unassembled 33 year old DCU pull in Florida after I literally stumbled into it listed in an estate sale. In addition to the five 1:5.5 A6 for the movie, DCU pulled eight fuselages from the molds to sell.
