The RESKIT RS48-0247 R-40 TD AA-6 ("Acrid") missile set is a high-quality accessory for aircraft scale modellers, manufactured by the renowned Ukrainian company RES/KIT. This product includes 2 precisely reproduced R-40TD medium-range missiles (NATO designation: AA-6 "Acrid"), intended for models in the popular 1:48 scale. The set is made of the highest quality resin, providing excellent detail and exceptional clarity, which cannot be found in standard plastic kits.

• Intended use: The set fits perfectly with Soviet and Russian aircraft models, such as the MiG-25 Foxbat and MiG-31 Foxhound. It is especially recommended for ICM and Kinetic kits, but can also be adapted to other manufacturers' models in the same scale.
• Scale: 1:48
• User country: USSR/Russia – mainly used by the Soviet military aviation, later Russia, as well as countries that were export users.
• Years of use / Historical period: The R-40 missile was introduced in the late 1970s and was widely used from the late Cold War era up to modern times. It armed MiG-25 and MiG-31 interceptor fighters, and saw action in operations such as Middle Eastern wars and patrolling Soviet/Russian airspace.
• Material and extras: The model is made of very fine textured resin, which allows for an unprecedented level of detail on the engine nozzles, mounting elements, and fins. There are no metal or photo-etched parts, but all resin parts are sharp and realistic.
• Category: Upgrade set – Resin model kit to enhance 1:48 scale aircraft models.

We especially recommend this product for advanced modellers and all those who wish to enhance their models with accurately reproduced armament. The RS48-0247 resin missiles will make any aviation diorama stand out, adding authenticity. Assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 due to the small number of parts and lack of photo-etched elements, but some experience in working with resin and precision painting is required. This set is an excellent choice for those seeking the highest level of realism in Soviet and Russian aircraft models.
