The quality of the resin casting is
flawless and bubble free. Each missile is made up of the missile
body.....4 thin and delicate looking fins for the front of the missile body,
plus 2 different types of tail units, a clear seeker head and a pylon attachment
unit and a decal sheet with all the stencils. The
8 fins on each missile are wonderfully thin and delicate looking. The
pylon attachment unit has recessed panel lines and rivet details. The
missile body and tail units have beautifully rendered recessed panel lines. The
decal sheet is loaded with stencils including stencils for the training version
and the armed version of this missile. The
instruction sheets assist you with assembly, painting and stencil placement.
This is a sharp
looking missile loaded with detail that you can use on a variety of Russian
built jets. This a missile will look excellent on your next model.
You can purchase this and other
fine resin detail items directly from Aerobonus
or from the many retailers that carry their products.
I would like to
thank Aerobonus for
providing me with this review sample.
