Lets see the white missile KH-29T or KH-58 are the Russian versions of the U.S Harpoon anti-ship missiles right? i guess these would do the job of sinking the U.S Carriers in time of war..

Just picked these up yesterday too.



It's a mix of air to surface, anti-ship, anti-radiation and cruise missiles, smart bombs and a healthy amount of smaller iron bomb racks. Worth noting is that all of them can be carried by the Su 24M. In operations over Syria mostly iron bombs with the odd KAB 500 smart bomb and KH 29 ("Maverickski") have been used.









Overall, they look pretty good, with an attempt at some weathering just like the model. It considerably improves the model itself as the ordnance was my main gripe. However, since CalWings clearly seem to know what the Su 24 can carry why didn't they just make a selection out of these and provide them with the already expensive model? This adds another $20 to the price tag.

And by the way, so far no issues with the stand tips. My local distributor says he's had complaints mostly from South China where the weather is hot & humid.
