This resin set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model Accessories. This 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.

There are 3 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow. You may be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process. They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes. These missiles provide very high quality level of detail and realism and would be a perfect addition to a Germany Tornado or Italian jet. You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories. Images in this article are by Eduard Model Accessories. Steve Bamford
