Soviet S-25-L Air-to-Ground Rocket
Soviet underwing armament is quite unique looking when compared to the US equivalents. These rockets are no exception. Perfectly cast on four light grey resin blocks, with a block of clear resin “nose cones” and decal markings, these are some really nice additions to your Soviet aircraft.
The resin is flawless. Two of the pour blocks are the rocket launcher bodies. The other one is the rocket motors with some exquisite detail, especially the rocket flutes. The final grey piece of resin is the unique shaped-charge warhead and control fins. The fins will require care to prevent them from flying off, as they are very petite but realistically thin. The clear pour block has the rocket tip for these particular rockets.
The decals are printed perfectly. However, they get stuck to the protective film. I recommend that you peel the film off the decals as soon as you get the set. You may be able to separate the decals by soaking them in water when ready to use. This might free them up. No guarantee though. This is the only part of this set that lets it down.
Highly recommended with reservations about the decals.
Thanks to Aires and IPMS/USA for the review copy.
Reviewer Bio
Floyd S. Werner Jr.
Building models since the age of 7, I’ve become known for my Bf-109s and helicopters. I currently run Werner’s Wings. I was previously the ‘star’ of the Master Class Model Building Video series. I’ve been published numerous times on various website, including Hyperscale and ARC. My work has been in FSM and Great Scale Modeling 2001, as well as, numerous other model magazines. I’m a published author with my Squadron/Signal Walkaround book on the Kiowa Warrior. My models have continuously won many regional and national awards. My unique model photography gives my models instant recognition for their historical perspective.
I’m a retired from the Army after 21 years of flying Cobras and Kiowa Warriors, including tours in Iraq, Bosnia, Korea, and Germany. I’m also a retired Flight Officer for the Baltimore City Police and flew their helicopters chasing bad guys. I’m currently flying Cobras and Hueys with the Army Aviation Heritage Foundation.
I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart, Yvonne, for 42 years. Our daughters have blessed us with six grandchildren. My passions continue to be his family, friends, helicopters, models and airplanes, especially the Bf-109 and my beloved AH-1 Cobra. My motto has always been - MODELING IS FUN!
