R-27R AA-10 Alamo Missile (PBR)

Air combat is a complex and unpredictable battlespace. The presence or absence of effective air-to-air missiles, along with their employers' skillset, can make all the difference in how an engagement plays out.

The R-27R AA-10 Alamo Missile (NATO reporting name: PL-XX) is a medium range air-to-air missile developed by the Soviet Union and still in service with the Russian Air Force, Commonwealth of Independent States and other air forces around the world.

This family of missiles includes infrared-homing, semi-active radar-homing and active radar-homing versions. They are currently deployed aboard fourth-generation fighters of the Russian Air Force and other allied nations.

Russia and Ukraine produce several variants of the missile: R-27R-1, R-27T-1, R-27ER-1 and R-27ET-1. Export versions of this missile can be seen aboard MiG-29s and Sukhoi Su-27 fighters.

The missile has a canard aerodynamic configuration with an axially symmetric, cruciform arrangement of aerodynamic surfaces that use the same control surfaces for launch and attack purposes. It can also be launched using either a rail launcher or catapult.

Each kit is a multi-media creation with fuselages, separate warheads and "butterfly" control surfaces cast in grey resin. They are then finished off with a decal sheet and PE fret for easy assembly.

These GWH plastic parts require more precision than your typical parts, with numerous small and large fins needed for both bodies and exhausts. All of these must be meticulously cut out from their casting blocks before assembly can begin.
