A Model X-55/55m missile (mini review)

To anyone interested...

I just got the A Model 1/72 X-55/55m cruise missile (or better, Kh-55 in the western world :) anyway it's a nice little kit. The missile is made of 2 halves plus separate fins. There are enough parts to make both the Kh-55 (in flight position with the turbofan lowered and spread wings, there's also a clear stand) and the Kh-55m (with conformal fuel tanks, and with a loading trolley). Can't comment on accuracy or fit because I just opened the box, but the quality of A Model kits is improving with every new kit: just a bit of flash and the surface detail is very good. Will look nice standing next to my Tu-160, well, if I finish it: I'm trying to get a smooth wing glowe getting rid of the working swing wings and with a lot of milliput, but it's a real PITA!
