RESKIT RS48-0528 R-40RD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D printed) 1/48

The RESKIT RS48-0528 R-40RD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles set in 1/48 scale is a high-quality modeling accessory intended for demanding aviation modelers. The product includes two precisely rendered models of the Soviet R-40RD air-to-air missiles, mainly used by MiG-25 Foxbat interceptors and the newer MiG-31 Foxhound—the pinnacle of the Soviet air defense program during the Cold War period.

The R-40RD missile (NATO: AA-6 "Acrid") is one of the largest operational air-to-air missiles, developed by the USSR in the 1970s. It was equipped with semi-active radar guidance, allowing effective engagement against strategic bombers or NATO reconnaissance aircraft at high altitudes and in challenging weather conditions. The R-40RD became a symbol of the power of the Soviet interceptor air force during the era of bloc tensions, with its widespread use continuing until the late 1980s. The set faithfully reproduces the distinctive shape, control surfaces, panels, and mechanical details of these missiles.

RESKIT RS48-0528 stands out for its exceptional quality and detail, achieved thanks to 3D printing technology—every detail of the fuselage, fins, and mounting points has been recreated with great accuracy, providing realism even for the most advanced models. The lack of resin or metal add-ons makes these missiles easy to assemble, offering the modeler plenty of scope for precise painting and individual enhancement.

We recommend this product to intermediate and advanced modelers building MiG-25 or MiG-31 fighters in 1/48 scale. It is a perfect complement for both competition models and realistic dioramas presenting Soviet ZOP AD forces during the key era of the Cold War.

Assembly difficulty: 3/5 – precise fitting of the parts requires moderate skill and patience, but the quality of workmanship ensures that the finished model looks extremely impressive.

By choosing RESKIT RS48-0528 R-40RD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D printed) 1/48, you will enrich your model with a detailed, authentic weapon set, guaranteeing the faithful look of the original Soviet air-to-air missiles from the Cold War era.
