Add authentic Norwegian anti-ship ordnance to your 1/48 scale naval aircraft models with this detailed 3D printed AGM-119 Penguin missile set from MPM Hobbies. As a Norwegian-designed passive infrared seeker-based anti-ship guided missile, the Penguin represents a highly effective weapon system adopted by multiple navies worldwide—and now you can recreate that capability with museum-quality detail on your F/A-18 Hornet, SH-60 Seahawk, and other naval strike aircraft.
The Penguin anti-ship missile holds a distinguished place in modern naval aviation as one of the most successful Western anti-ship missiles ever developed. Designed and manufactured by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace of Norway, the Penguin was specifically engineered for use against fast attack craft, patrol boats, and other surface vessels. The weapon's passive infrared seeker allows it to home in on the heat signature of enemy ships without emitting detectable radar signals, making it difficult to detect and counter. The AGM-119 designation was assigned when the United States adopted the Penguin for use by the US Navy and Coast Guard, where it proved highly effective in the anti-surface warfare role.
The AGM-119 Penguin is a short-to-medium range anti-ship guided missile employing passive infrared guidance to track and engage surface targets. Unlike radar-guided missiles that can be detected and jammed, the Penguin's passive IR seeker operates silently, detecting the thermal signature of enemy vessels without revealing the launching aircraft's position. The missile follows a sea-skimming flight profile, staying close to the water's surface to avoid detection by enemy radar systems. Upon approaching the target, the Penguin's warhead is designed to penetrate the hull before detonation, maximizing damage to the target vessel. The weapon's fire-and-forget capability allows the launching aircraft to immediately maneuver away after launch, improving survivability in contested environments.
The AGM-119 Penguin was carried by US Navy and Coast Guard helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. This missile set is ideal for detailing the following 1/48 scale aircraft:
Item(s) is/are LCD-based SLA printed using UV cured resin and will be shipped unpainted and with 3D print supports attached. Item can be primed with acrylic, lacquer or enamel type paint. Lightly sand and/or prime any horizontal striations due to the printing process. Remove supports starting from the tip down and start by freeing those supports connected to small and fragile details. Recommend using CA for attaching item to model or filling any imperfections. Item(s) will have features that are brittle or extremely delicate and prone to breaking if not properly handled. 3D print support configurations may be different than the ones in the photos if applicable. Photos may include the CAD rendered file used for printing to highlight details that do not stand out well in regular photos. Not intended for small children due to choking hazard and should only be purchased by experienced modelers due fine details and printer support removal. The number of items in your order is calculated by multiplying the quantity you selected by the number of items per set if applicable. All items are printed in the order they are purchased.
For best results, clean any support material carefully with a sharp hobby knife and test-fit the missile to your aircraft's pylon or launcher before final assembly. Prime the resin with a quality primer designed for resin parts, then paint according to your chosen scheme. Most AGM-119 Penguin missiles are finished in overall white or light gray with black or dark gray stenciling and markings. Reference photos will help ensure accurate finish and markings for your specific aircraft and time period.
