Add authentic Israeli precision-guided ordnance to your 1/48 scale jet aircraft models with this detailed 3D printed AGM-142 Popeye air-to-surface missile set from MPM Hobbies. As a family of advanced standoff weapons developed by Israel and adopted by the United States as the AGM-142 Have Nap, the Popeye represents cutting-edge precision strike capability—and now you can recreate that capability with museum-quality detail on your F-15I Ra'am, F-16I Sufa, F-15E Strike Eagle, and other strike aircraft.
Popeye holds a distinguished place in modern military aviation as the name of a family of air-to-surface missiles developed and in use by Israel, of which several types have been developed for Israeli and export users. The weapon system represents Israeli expertise in precision-guided munitions and has been exported to several allied nations. A long-range submarine-launched cruise missile variant of the Popeye Turbo has been speculated as being employed in Israel's submarine-based nuclear forces, though this remains unconfirmed. The United States operates the Popeye under a different designation according to US naming conventions as the AGM-142 Have Nap, demonstrating the weapon's effectiveness and international acceptance.
The AGM-142 Popeye is a standoff air-to-surface missile employing television or imaging infrared guidance, allowing pilots to engage heavily defended targets from safe distances outside enemy air defense zones. The missile's guidance system provides exceptional accuracy, with the weapon able to strike within meters of the designated aim point. The Popeye's substantial warhead and precision guidance make it effective against hardened targets including command bunkers, communications facilities, and reinforced structures. The weapon's standoff range allows launching aircraft to remain outside the engagement envelope of most surface-to-air missile systems, significantly improving survivability.
The AGM-142 Popeye is carried by Israeli and US strike 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 before final assembly. Prime the resin with a quality primer designed for resin parts, then paint according to your chosen scheme. Most AGM-142 Popeye 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.
