RESKIT RS72-0519 LAU-88 with (2 pcs) AGM-65 "Maverick" missiles (6 pcs) (3D Printed) 1/72 is a highly detailed model of modern aircraft armament accessories, designed especially for demanding aircraft modelers. This RES/KIT set is an extremely precisely manufactured component for combat aircraft equipment in the popular 1/72 scale. It is a perfect extension for models such as the A-10 Thunderbolt II, F-4 Phantom II, F-16 Fighting Falcon, or F/A-18 Hornet. The included launchers and missiles provide historical accuracy and excellent realism for dioramas and collector's aircraft replicas.

The model depicts the LAU-88 – a triple ejector rack designed to carry AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles. This weapon system was widely used by the United States Air Force and NATO countries – primarily from the 1970s during the Cold War up to modern times. AGM-65 missiles were effectively utilized, among others, during conflicts in the Middle East and allied operations against armored targets, artillery, and critical enemy infrastructure. The LAU-88 launchers allowed for carrying up to three missiles on a single hardpoint, significantly increasing the combat potential of NATO air forces.

• Scale: 1/72
• Country of service: USA, NATO
• Service period: Cold War, modern times (since the 1970s)
• Production material: high-quality 3D print (UV-cured resin)
• Set contents: 2 LAU-88 launchers, 6 AGM-65 Maverick missiles
• Category: Accessory model – aircraft armament for plastic scale models
• Intended use: Complement for USA/NATO combat aircraft models (A-10, F-4, F-16, F/A-18)
• Assembly difficulty: 4/5 (requires precision, intermediate skill level)

The set stands out due to exceptionally rich detailing, including realistically rendered service panels, fins, mounts, and finely crafted construction of both launchers and missiles. 3D printing technology provides outstanding sharpness and crisp edges that traditional plastic models cannot achieve, while the absence of photoetched and metal parts does not negatively affect the final outcome. Assembly of the parts requires precision and skills in sanding and fitting – the set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers.

RESKIT RS72-0519 LAU-88 with AGM-65 Maverick is an indispensable addition for every enthusiast of highly accurate aircraft models from the Cold War and modern battlefield era. The set captures the unique atmosphere of the most important USA and NATO air force operations. Highly recommended for aviation armament hobbyists, jet aircraft collectors, and creators of 1/72 scale military dioramas.
