This resin set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model AccessoriesThis set includes two AS.34 Kormoran missiles in 1/72 scale.

The AS.34 Kormoran is a German-produced anti-ship missile. The Kormoran (cormorant) uses an inertial guidance system for the midcourse phase, switching to active radar homing during the terminal attack phase. It carries a 165 kg (363 lb) delay-fused warhead, designed for 90mm of penetration prior to detonation. The maximum range is 23 km (~14 miles).  The missile entered service with the German Navy in 1991.  Approximately 140 missiles were produced for Germany. The missile is now in service with the German Luftwaffe and Italian Air Force.  [Wikipedia]
