A replica of the American AGM-130 rocket-powered guided missile in 1:72 scale, meant to be slung under a model of a tactical bomber.
Responsibility details are not available.
The AGM-130 grew out of the bomb with the GBU-15 glide kit and added to it what it most lacked: a rocket motor of its own. The crew could thus attack from tens of kilometers away, out of reach of most anti-aircraft assets, and still keep control over the hit: a television or imaging infrared seeker head sat in the nose and the picture from it traveled by data link back to the cockpit. The operator could guide the missile onto a particular part of a structure, or steer it aside at the last moment. The carrier became above all the Strike Eagle, and the weapon saw its combat debut in the 1990s over Iraq and over the Balkans.
External stores decide whether a model reads as a machine in service or as a museum exhibit. A body complex in shape with a jettisonable motor, fins and a seeker head is meanwhile among the parts where a plastic mold runs into its limits. This replacement offers sharp edges on the control surfaces, fine panel lines and a clean transition between the body of the missile and the motor section.
The missile is heavy against the rack, so it pays to check how firmly the pylon holds on the wing and, if need be, to secure the joint with a pin of wire. It is also worth filling the gap between the body of the missile and the rack with a thin strip of plastic, otherwise the store optically hangs in mid-air. In practice the weapon was carried one at a time on the inner rack, so a pair under the wings is enough even for a lavishly conceived model.
