Arm your 1/48 scale aircraft models with authentic missiles and guided weapons from MPM Hobbies. This comprehensive collection features precision 3D-printed resin replicas of air-to-air, air-to-surface, anti-radiation, and cruise missiles spanning early guided weapons through modern precision munitions. Each missile is manufactured with crisp molding, accurate dimensions, and authentic surface details including fins, guidance sections, warheads, and mounting hardware that bring tactical realism to your fighter and strike aircraft loadouts.
MPM Hobbies offers the most extensive selection of 1/48 scale aircraft missiles available, featuring 14 different guided weapon types manufactured from high-quality 3D-printed resin. This collection encompasses the complete spectrum of air-launched guided weapons from early Cold War development through modern precision-strike systems. Air-to-air missiles include the legendary AIM-9B Sidewinder, the first truly successful heat-seeking missile that revolutionized air combat from the 1950s onward and remains in service in evolved variants today, and the AIM-7E Sparrow medium-range radar-guided missile that provided beyond-visual-range capability for interceptors and air superiority fighters throughout the Cold War. The Fairey Fireflash represents early British air-to-air missile development from the 1950s, showcasing the distinctive twin-boom configuration that characterized first-generation guided weapons.
Air-to-surface missiles in this collection represent the evolution of precision-strike capability from early guided weapons through modern standoff systems. The AGM-12C Bullpup was the first operational air-to-surface missile deployed by the U.S. military, featuring manual command guidance that required pilots to steer the missile to target using radio controls. The AGM-62 Walleye introduced television guidance for precision strikes against point targets during Vietnam, while the AGM-142 Popeye provides modern standoff strike capability with imaging infrared guidance and extended range. The AGM-130 powered standoff missile combines rocket propulsion with television or imaging infrared guidance for long-range precision strikes, while the AGM-119 Penguin delivers anti-ship capability with infrared homing guidance. The AGM-123 Skipper II combines a Mk 83 1000-pound bomb with laser guidance and rocket propulsion for enhanced standoff range against hardened targets.
Specialized anti-radiation missiles designed to destroy enemy radar installations are essential weapons for Wild Weasel and SEAD operations. The AGM-45 Shrike was the first dedicated anti-radiation missile deployed operationally, homing on enemy radar emissions to destroy surface-to-air missile sites and early warning radars during Vietnam and subsequent conflicts. The AGM-78 Standard ARM provided improved range and warhead effectiveness compared to the Shrike, featuring a larger rocket motor and enhanced seeker head that could engage radars at extended distances. These weapons were carried by specialized Wild Weasel aircraft including the F-105G Thunderchief and F-4G Phantom II, which deliberately exposed themselves to enemy radar to locate and destroy air defense systems.
The collection includes modern cruise missiles and historically significant guided weapons that showcase the evolution of standoff strike technology. The KEPD 350 air-launched cruise missile represents modern European precision-strike capability, featuring autonomous navigation and imaging infrared terminal guidance for attacks against heavily defended targets. The Kh-59M Ovod-M (AS-18 Kazoo) showcases Soviet/Russian standoff missile technology with television guidance and extended range for strikes beyond enemy air defense engagement zones. The Ruhrstahl X-1 Fritz X represents pioneering German guided weapon development from WWII, featuring radio command guidance that enabled precision attacks against heavily armored warships including the successful strike against the Italian battleship Roma in 1943.
Every missile in this collection is manufactured by MPM Hobbies using advanced 3D-printing technology that captures microscopic details impossible with traditional injection molding. Each weapon features precisely scaled dimensions matching actual missiles, authentic fin configurations with correct chord lengths and sweep angles, detailed guidance section housings showing seeker domes and sensor windows, accurate warhead sections with proper ogive shapes and body diameters, crisp surface details including panel lines and access hatches, and correct mounting lug placements for aircraft carriage. The AIM-9 Sidewinder captures the distinctive canard control surfaces and infrared seeker dome, the AIM-7 Sparrow shows the characteristic cruciform fin arrangement and semi-active radar guidance section, the AGM-45 Shrike displays the unique antenna configuration for passive radar homing, and the AGM-142 Popeye features the large diameter body and imaging infrared seeker housing. Multi-piece sets provide exceptional value, with most missiles packaged in sets of 2 pieces, allowing modelers to create fully armed aircraft or build multiple models from a single purchase. The resin material accepts paint readily and requires minimal cleanup, making these guided weapons ideal for both experienced modelers and those new to resin aftermarket products.
Pair these missiles with complementary MPM Hobbies ordnance to create authentic combat loadouts for air superiority, strike, and SEAD missions. Explore 1/48 MPM Bombs for general purpose and precision-guided munitions, 1/48 MPM Clusters and Dispensers for area-effect weapons, 1/48 Rocket Pods for unguided rocket systems, 1/48 MPM Torpedoes for naval strike aircraft, and 1/48 Fixed Weapons for machine guns and cannons. Mount your missiles with 1/48 MPM Racks, Launchers and Pylons for authentic weapons carriage configurations. Whether building a Vietnam-era F-4 Phantom loaded with AIM-9B Sidewinders and AIM-7E Sparrows for MiG combat air patrol, an F-105G Wild Weasel carrying AGM-45 Shrike and AGM-78 Standard ARM missiles for SEAD operations over North Vietnam, an A-6E Intruder equipped with AGM-62 Walleye guided bombs for precision strikes during Desert Storm, a modern F-15E Strike Eagle with AGM-142 Popeye standoff missiles for deep strike missions, or a Tornado IDS carrying KEPD 350 cruise missiles for suppression of enemy air defenses, MPM Hobbies provides the authentic guided weapons that transform your aircraft model into a combat-ready strike platform.
