This resin set includes:

  • four complete Falanga 9M17P missiles

  • 4 pylon launch rails

  • decal sheet with stencils and markings

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The Hind A and Hind D helicopters both operated these missiles from their stub wings with 2 per side or 4 in total.  The mixture of resin and photo etch parts will give you the best level of detail and realism.  These will be an excellent loadout addition to your next Hind attack helicopter.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
