1:32 Pylons for Mikoyan MiG-29 (APU-470 2 pcs for R-27 & APU-73 4 pcs for R-73)

Reskit 1:32 pylons for the MiG-29

The set brings underwing pylons and launch rails for the MiG-29 fighter in 1:32 scale. It contains rails for two R-27 medium-range air-to-air missiles and rails for four R-73 close-combat missiles. The parts are made by 3D printing from resin with fine details that plastic kits usually render in simplified form. It is a resin accessory for more experienced modelers, not an aircraft kit of its own.

The real subject

The MiG-29 is a Soviet, and later Russian, twin-engine fourth-generation frontline fighter. It carries a combination of air-to-air missiles: the longer-ranged R-27 on the inner pylons and the agile R-73 for close combat. Accurate and faithful launch rails raise the realism of the underwing stores on a model markedly.

Use

• Wash the parts to remove uncured print resin residue and let them dry.
• Separate the parts carefully from the print supports and clean up the mating surfaces.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate), with an accelerator if need be.
• Protect your airways when sanding resin; do not breathe in the dust.

Who the set is for

• Builders of the MiG-29 who want accurate underwing stores.
• Modelers with experience of resin and 3D printed parts.
• Collectors of finely rendered models of military equipment.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base model, the missiles, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
