Looks like it's based on the one on display at the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution, including sitting on that launch pad. I wonder if it will be on sale in the museum shop (guessing there is such a thing).
Couldn't find any photos of it with any associated vehicles, as I was wondering if there might be anything else released to go with it... Maybe not.

Probably not as it is a rather specialized subject matter; on the other hand perhaps for patriotic reasons ( and the gift shop sales) it'll do well and spawn the necessary (and largely unknown) associated vehicles. Heck, you've got a potential patriotic crowd that numbers into the hundred of millions!
