This is the new Air to Air Missile set of the Israeli Python 3 by Neil Burkill of Paragon Designs in 1/48 scale.  The parts are in tan resin with a photo etch fret of forward fins as well as optional clear resin seeker heads.  The parts clean up very easily and assembly looks to be a breeze.  There are no color callouts or decals provided; however, those can be researched online or, even easier, by sourcing the Isradecals F-15 Mig Killer decal sheet, which provides these as well as markings for Python 4 missiles.  The distinctive mount adapter and 'un-sidewinder' profile of the missile itself will surely look nice on your F-15 'Baz'.  By the way, the warped missile in the overall photo straightened up very nicely after a little heat therapy, and the second pack I bought from Neil was perfect.

Highly recommended for all Israeli airforce and modern jet fans.  Welcome back Neil!
