AGM-130 Reference
The AGM-130 is a rocket-assisted, air-to-surface standoff weapon developed from the unpowered GBU-15. The AGM-130C used a BLU-109/B penetrator warhead, while available configurations used infrared or television guidance. Its association with the F-15E and other modern strike aircraft makes it a useful ordnance subject for Gulf War and later aviation projects.
Modeling Notes
Support Removal and Preparation
Remove the 3D supports from the tip down, taking care around small and delicate details. Lightly sand or prime visible print striations as needed. A primer suitable for resin and acrylic, lacquer, or enamel paint can be used. CA is recommended for attaching the accessory or filling small imperfections.
Painting Reference
Reference images show an olive-drab missile with black identification markings and a brown band around the propulsion module. Test-fit the missile to the aircraft pylon before final assembly, then use reference material to place markings accurately.
