These are the new resin AIM-120 AMRAAM Missiles
from Zactomodels.
The AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile, or AMRAAM (pronounced AM-ram), is an American beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) capable of all-weather day-and-night operations. Designed with a 7-inch (180mm) diameter form-and-fit factor, and employing active transmit-receive radar guidance instead of semi-active receive-only radar guidance, it has the advantage of being a fire-and-forget weapon when compared to the previous generation Sparrow missiles. When an AMRAAM missile is launched, NATO pilots use the brevity code Fox
Three. [Wikipedia]
Each set includes 2 complete missiles.
Also included are optional exhausts and nosecones for training versions (CATM)
which I appreciate very much because it gives modelers more options. Zactomodels
does combine shipping if you order more than 1 product and you can check their
website for instructions on how to do this. Detail is of
course done to a very high level we have always enjoyed from Zactomodels. These new resin AIM-120 AMRAAM Missiles from Zactomodels give you the ability to add highly accurate AIM-120 AMRAAM Missiles to your latest jet. Chris at Zactomodels is a great guy to deal with and you can shop with confidence. Steve Bamford |
