Bring precision-strike capability to your 1/48 scale modern jet aircraft models with this detailed 3D printed AGM-130 powered standoff missile from MPM Hobbies. As one of the most sophisticated air-to-ground weapons in the US arsenal, the AGM-130 represents the evolution of precision-guided munitions—combining rocket propulsion with advanced guidance systems to deliver devastating accuracy from standoff range.
The AGM-130 holds a distinguished place in modern military aviation as an advanced powered standoff weapon that allows strike aircraft to engage heavily defended targets from beyond the range of most air defense systems. Developed as an evolution of the unpowered GBU-15 glide bomb, the AGM-130 added a rocket motor to extend range and provide the kinetic energy needed to penetrate deeply buried and hardened targets. This revolutionary weapon saw extensive combat use during Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and subsequent conflicts, proving its effectiveness against command bunkers, communications facilities, and other strategic targets.
The AGM-130 is an air-to-surface, rocket-assisted tactical missile employing either infrared (IR) or television (TV) module guidance for precision targeting. The AGM-130C variant features a standard BLU-109/B penetrator bomb unit as its warhead, designed to defeat hardened targets including reinforced bunkers and underground facilities. Unlike the unpowered GBU-15, the AGM-130 incorporates a rocket motor that extends its range and provides the energy needed to penetrate deeply buried targets. The BLU-109/B penetrator does not contain a nose cavity, with an FMU-143-series fuze contained in the tail fuze cavity for optimal detonation timing.
The AGM-130 was primarily employed by the F-15E Strike Eagle during operations including Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. This missile is ideal for detailing the following 1/48 scale aircraft:
The actual AGM-130 missile is painted olive drab with identification decals and instruction markings in black. The propulsion module features a characteristic 2.00-inch (51-millimeter) wide brown band painted around both the forward and aft sections, with nomenclature and loading data contained on a decal at the module's center. This information is provided as a painting and marking reference for your modeling project.
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 before final assembly. Prime the resin with a quality primer designed for resin parts, then paint in olive drab with appropriate brown bands on the propulsion module. Add decals or hand-painted markings for the final authentic touches. Reference photos and technical documentation will help ensure accurate placement of markings.
