1/48 Russian Aircraft Armament

The Soviet and Russian air forces used a wide range ofof aerial weaponry, from unguided missiles and free-falling bombs to air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles. These weapons were an integral part of the operational capabilities of aircraft such as the MiG-21, MiG-29, Su-25, Su-27 and Su-34, and reflected the highSoviet military doctrine, which emphasized robustness, versatility, and the ability to operate in harsh environments. For the modeller, accurate depiction of the overhead armament is a key element of authenticity - it can correctlymissiles, bombs or fuel tanks can greatly enhance the realism and historical value of a model.

The Dostane Zimi Model 1:48 scale kit offers a set of replica air armament covering typical variants used by Soviet and Russian aircraft. It may include, for example, unguided S-5, S-8 or S-24 missiles in matching launch containers (UB-16, UB-32, B-8), free-falling bombs of various weights (FAB-100, FAB-250, FAB-500), guided missiles such as R-60, R-73 (air-to-air) or Ch-25, Ch-29 (air-to-ground), as well as additional fuel tanks (PTBs) and other elements of the underhanging armament. The parts are designed to match actual dimensions and shapes, allowing modelers to equip their models to a specific mission or historical configuration.

The 1:48 scale is the standard for detailed military aircraft modeling, and this kit is suitable as a complement to a wide variety of Soviet and Russian aircraft kits from a variety of manufacturers. Finishing techniques can be used to highlight panel lines, wear and tear on thepaint, exhaust fouling and other effects appropriate to heavy use. The package does not include paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
