Eduard 49680 MiG-25 Foxbat R-40 Missiles Detail Set KITTY HAWK 1/48

The Eduard 49680 MiG-25 Foxbat R-40 missiles detail set is designed for 1/48 scale MiG-25 Foxbat aircraft models from Kitty Hawk. This is a professional upgrade set that significantly enhances your model with finely detailed weaponry components – R-40 air-to-air missiles, which formed the main armament of the MiG-25 interceptor used by the Soviet Air Force and other Warsaw Pact nations.

The MiG-25 Foxbat was one of the most technologically advanced fighters of the Cold War era – its maiden flight took place in 1964 and it entered service in 1970. The aircraft was used by the Soviet Union primarily for intercepting fast, high-flying targets such as the US SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance plane and strategic bombers. The R-40 missiles (NATO designation: AA-6 Acrid) were dedicated air-to-air missiles, tailored for engaging targets under challenging combat conditions at high altitude. The combination of the MiG-25 and R-40 missiles saw action, among others, during conflicts in the Middle East and military operations in Afghanistan.
