RP-3 Rocket Context
Aircraft Ordnance
The British RP-3 was a World War II air-to-ground rocket used by fighter-bomber and naval aircraft. Its period use makes this set a practical choice for RAF and Royal Navy aircraft builds featuring underwing rocket rails.
Printing and Handling
This 3D-printed resin set is shipped unpainted with 3D supports attached. Color images are for display purposes only. Remove supports carefully, test-fit the rockets to the aircraft's rails, and prime the cleaned parts before painting. Small resin details can be delicate, so careful handling is recommended.
