Eduard 672259 R-27ET / AA-10 Alamo-D 1/72 – Resin Missile Set

Eduard 672259 R-27ET / AA-10 Alamo-D in 1/72 scale is an exceptionally detailed model kit dedicated to military aviation enthusiasts. Eduard's Brassin set includes four precisely reproduced R-27ET air-to-air missiles in the production Alamo-D variant. This set will enrich any collection of Cold War and modern era aircraft models, and its compatibility with MiG-29 and Su-27 kits makes it an indispensable addition for modelers building replicas of fighters from the arsenal of Russia and former Soviet Union countries.

The R-27ET is a variant of the R-27 missile family, produced since the 1980s by the USSR and later Russia—currently also operated by numerous air forces of post-Soviet and allied countries. It is a medium-range, infrared-guided missile, widely used in local conflicts and combat exercises from the Cold War period to the present day. The R-27ET was deployed, among others, on MiG-29 Fulcrum and Su-27 Flanker fighters, forming an essential part of their armament.

The Eduard 672259 R-27ET set stands out for its highest level of detail fidelity thanks to the use of resin and photo-etched parts. It is an excellent choice for advanced and intermediate modelers interested in military aviation and contemporary or Cold War dioramas. I rate the assembly difficulty at 3/5 – precise small parts require experience and caution, but the satisfaction from the realistic final effect is guaranteed. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to add a realistic, professional appearance to their Russian fighter models' weaponry!
