RESKIT RS72-0527 R-40TD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/72

We present an exceptional aircraft armament set, RESKIT RS72-0527 – two precisely recreated models of the Soviet long-range air-to-air missile R-40TD, designated by NATO as AA-6 "Acrid", in the popular 1/72 scale. This high-quality modeling accessory is especially dedicated to military aviation enthusiasts, historical modelers, and collectors of Cold War military equipment.

The R-40TD missiles were developed to engage high-flying, fast targets such as strategic bombers and reconnaissance aircraft. They were the standard armament for Soviet MiG-25 Foxbat and MiG-31 Foxhound interceptor fighters – iconic aircraft of the USSR Air Force from the 1970s up to the end of the Cold War. The uniqueness of the R-40TD missiles lies in their size (the largest in their class), long range, maneuverability, and heat-seeking warhead. Their most famous uses included patrols and operations in the Arctic, Asian, and European theaters, and repeated engagements during aerial incidents with NATO countries.
