RESKIT RS72-0528 R-40RD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/72 – Set of Soviet R-40RD missiles for MiG-25/MiG-31

RESKIT RS72-0528 R-40RD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles is a unique set of modeling accessories designed for enthusiasts of Soviet military aviation and Cold War dioramas depicting historical legends. The 1/72 scale model allows for precise replication of two R-40RD air-to-air missiles, known in the West as the AA-6 "Acrid", which were successfully used by the Soviet Air Force from the 1970s up to the end of the Cold War.

The R-40RD was the first fully operational Soviet long-range interceptor missile with semi-active radar guidance. It was specifically designed to equip MiG-25 Foxbat and later MiG-31 Foxhound jet interceptors, enabling effective interception of strategic bombers and high-flying targets. One of the most notable episodes of its use was the interception of the Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft over the USSR – thanks to the R-40 missiles, the Foxbat became a real threat to NATO.

Each missile in the RESKIT RS72-0528 set has been reproduced with exceptional attention to detail – clearly visible panel lines, fins, detailed panels, and realistic mounts guarantee the highest level of historical accuracy. The use of modern 3D printing technology eliminates the need for resin, while offering sharp and crisp details that are easy to process and assemble.

The set is dedicated to modelers building MiG-25 and MiG-31 interceptors in the popular 1/72 scale. The build difficulty is rated 3/5 – easy assembly, but precision is recommended when working with small details. The construction is excellent both as a standalone addition and as an element of larger diorama projects or Cold War aircraft collections. The product is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value authenticity and the highest quality in aircraft detail execution.

RESKIT RS72-0528 will surely enhance the realism of your model and ensure satisfaction with both the building process and the final result. It's not only a perfect supplement to any model collection but also a must-have choice for all enthusiasts of the Soviet Air Force and Cold War aviation scenarios.
