Historical information

The R-40TD is a Soviet long-range heavy air-to-air missile developed in the 1960s by the Vympel design bureau. Its advanced TD (thermal seeker) version was introduced into the armament of MiG-25 and later MiG-31 interceptors. The R-40TD was used to protect Soviet airspace during the Cold War, and missiles of this type played a key role in intercepting potential aerial threats, including high-flying reconnaissance aircraft.

Why choose the RESKIT R-40 TD?

This set is especially recommended for modelers seeking to raise the realism and level of detail of their aircraft models to a standard unattainable by regular plastic accessories. Very high casting quality, perfectly replicated missile details, and the possibility of precise fit to pylons compensate for the need for careful assembly. An ideal choice for fans of Cold War aviation, MiG collectors, and diorama builders presenting Soviet jet fighters.

• Assembly difficulty: 3/5 – recommended for users with intermediate and higher experience
