RESKIT RS48-0372 is a high-quality aftermarket set intended for advanced aircraft modelers, containing four faithfully reproduced R-73 missile replicas in the popular 1/48 scale. The set is manufactured using precise 3D printing technology, which guarantees extraordinary detail and razor-sharp features, even in the smallest elements. These MODELS accurately represent modern armament used on contemporary Russian and post-Soviet fighter jets such as the MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30, and their derivatives.

R-73 (NATO reporting name: AA-11 Archer) is a Russian short-range air-to-air missile introduced into service at the end of the 1980s, intensively used during the Cold War period and in modern times. It features infrared homing and advanced maneuverability thanks to thrust vectoring, making it one of the most effective missiles for close-range dogfighting. It has been deployed in various conflicts, including in the Balkans, Georgia, and during military operations in Syria on numerous modern Russian and export aircraft.
