The R-23T guided missile in 1:72 is a printed stores accessory for models of the MiG-23 and other Soviet aircraft. It is an accessory, not an airplane model.
Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on armament set in 1:72 scale from the Russian manufacturer Temp Models, printed from photopolymer. The contents are a medium-range air-to-air guided missile in the heat-seeking version. The set fills out the stores of a finished kit and does not make up an aircraft model itself.
The R-23T is the heat-seeking version of the Soviet medium-range air-to-air guided missile developed as the main armament of the MiG-23 fighters. The letter T marks the infrared seeker, which finds the target by the heat it emits, so after launch the carrier no longer has to illuminate the target with radar. A pair of missiles, one with a radar and one with an infrared seeker, was launched at the same target so that one countermeasure would not thwart both attacks.
The parts are printed from photopolymer, so thin print supports are left on them. Cut them away with a sharp scalpel or photo-etch nippers and sand the pad they leave with fine abrasive paper. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, that is with super glue, because polystyrene cement has no effect on this material. Lay down a filler primer before painting; it will at the same time reveal any remains of the supports. Sanding is best done wet and with respiratory protection.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
