RESKIT RS48-0320 AIM-7E SPARROW III MISSILES (4PCS) 1/48 – resin aircraft missile set

The RESKIT RS48-0320 AIM-7E SPARROW III MISSILES (4PCS) 1/48 scale set is a high-quality collection of four precisely crafted AIM-7E Sparrow III air-to-air missile models—an essential enhancement for jet aircraft models from the Cold War era and beyond. This product is manufactured by the renowned RES/KIT company, known for its attention to detail and advanced accessory production technology. The missiles are made from strong, fine-grained resin that allows replication of even the smallest features of aerial weaponry.

The AIM-7E Sparrow III is an American medium-range air-to-air missile equipped with semi-active radar guidance. Its production began in the 1960s, and the missile was widely deployed by the United States Air Force and allied nations including the United Kingdom, Italy, Japan, Israel, and Canada. The AIM-7E saw extensive use during the Vietnam War, where it was a standard armament for McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighters. It remained in service until the late 1980s, before being replaced by newer generations of Sparrow missiles and the AIM-120 AMRAAM.

The RESKIT RS48-0320 set in 1/48 scale makes it possible to authentically replicate this weapon for model aircraft from the Cold War and the late 20th to early 21st centuries, such as the F-4 Phantom II, F-15 Eagle, F-14 Tomcat, or F/A-18 Hornet. In addition to four missiles, the kit includes mounting details for attaching them under the wings or fuselage of the chosen model. Each missile features sharply defined surfaces, distinctive fins, and authentic technical details.
