Pivot pylons are a key suspension element for the F-111 bomber and strike aircraft, used primarily by the United States Air Force (USAF). The design of these pylons was closely linked to the revolutionary variable geometry wing system of the F-111. The rotating pylons keep the launchers in the optimal position regardless of wing sweep, ensuring aerodynamic stability and full functionality of the mounted armament.

The pylons equipped with LAU-105 launchers were used to carry the famed AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles, which became a crucial element during air operations in conflicts and exercises of the Cold War era. This set allows for a realistic recreation of the equipment configuration of the F-111A, D, and E, which saw combat service during operations such as "El Dorado Canyon" and numerous NATO exercises.

RESKIT RS48-0500 is a product designed for demanding modelers who want to accurately reproduce structural details and achieve historical authenticity in their models. Recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers.

• Build difficulty level: 3/5
