RESKIT RS48-0527 R-40TD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D printed) 1/48 – Set of Soviet Air-to-Air Missiles for MiG Model Aircraft

The RESKIT RS48-0527 R-40TD (AA-6 "Acrid") missiles (2 pcs) (3D printed) 1/48 is an excellent choice for modelers interested in Soviet fighter aviation from the Cold War era. The featured missiles are precisely rendered, three-dimensionally printed models of the famous R-40TD missiles, which were a quintessential part of the armament for the fastest Soviet interceptor fighters such as the MiG-25 Foxbat and MiG-31 Foxhound.

• Scale: 1/48
• Country of use: Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR)
• Historical period: Cold War (early 1980s, in use until the 1990s and currently operated by selected countries)
• Material: high-quality 3D print
• Set includes: 2 R-40TD missiles (infrared homing variant, NATO designation: AA-6 "Acrid")
• Category: modeling accessories, 3D print – aircraft armament

The R-40TD missile, developed by the USSR as a long-range interceptor missile, was used mainly by air defense units in all strategically important regions for the Soviet air force—from Siberia to the Middle East. The TD variant was introduced into service in the 1980s as an effective response to threats posed by advanced NATO bombers and reconnaissance aircraft operating at high altitudes and speeds.

The offered missile model is made with 3D print technology, which means it stands out with outstanding detail quality of the fuselage structure, fins, and its characteristically slender silhouette. The models do not require resin part sanding or precise assembly of photo-etched parts—the entire set is damage-resistant and easy to assemble. A difficulty level of 3/5 indicates that the set can successfully be built by intermediate and advanced modelers.

RESKIT RS48-0527 R-40TD is recommended especially for collectors building MiG-25 or MiG-31 models in 1/48 scale as well as enthusiasts of Cold War military aviation. This realistic reproduction of true weaponry will enhance the authenticity of any Soviet fighter replica, diorama, or collector's exhibition!
