Responsibility details are not available.
A resin R-73 air-to-air guided missile in 1:72 scale from the Russian brand Temp Models. The resin print manages the small forward control fins as well as the intricate rear end, which a plastic mold cannot handle in a small scale. It is not an aircraft model but a separate store to be hung under a finished model.
The R-73 is a Soviet close-combat missile with infrared guidance that ranked among the world's best in its day. Besides aerodynamic control fins it also uses thrust vectoring of the motor exhaust, so it can turn hard immediately after launch. Together with a helmet-mounted sight that meant the pilot could send the missile at a target that was not ahead of the aircraft but off to the side. On a model you will recognize it by the small fins at the nose.
Release the missile body from the supports on a work mat; the forward control fins are fragile. Sand the marks down with fine paper and wet sand, with respiratory protection. Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water before painting. The cover of the seeker head is done in a polished metallic paint or a clear coat. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
