Originally designated AS-13 'Kingbolt' by NATO, the baseline Kh-59 entered service in the 1980s with a two-stage solid-fuel propulsion system and 200 km range. The Kh-59M Ovod-M variant, designated AS-18 'Kazoo' by NATO, represents a substantial upgrade featuring a larger warhead and turbojet engine that significantly extends its range and effectiveness. This advanced cruise missile has been widely exported and remains in active service with Russian and allied air forces, providing standoff strike capability against heavily defended targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOperational Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kh-59M Ovod-M is primarily a land-attack cruise missile, though the Kh-59MK variant is optimized for anti-ship missions. The weapon employs television guidance, allowing the weapons system operator to guide the missile to its target using real-time video feedback transmitted from the missile's nose-mounted camera. The turbojet-powered Kh-59M offers significantly extended range compared to the solid-fuel baseline variant, allowing launch aircraft to remain well outside enemy air defense zones. The missile's larger warhead provides enhanced destructive capability against hardened targets including command bunkers, communications facilities, and reinforced structures. The Kh-59M's combination of precision guidance, extended range, and substantial warhead makes it one of Russia's most capable standoff weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale-Accurate Detail\u003c\/strong\u003e - Precisely scaled 1\/48 representation with authentic proportions including turbojet intake, guidance section, and control surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium 3D Printed Resin\u003c\/strong\u003e - High-resolution LCD-based SLA printing captures fine details including panel lines, air intakes, and mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorically Accurate\u003c\/strong\u003e - Based on reference photos and technical documentation of actual Kh-59M missiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/strong\u003e - Designed, printed, and quality-controlled by MPM Hobbies in America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModern Weapon System\u003c\/strong\u003e - Represents current Russian standoff strike capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e - Suitable for multiple Russian aircraft types that carry the Kh-59M system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatible Aircraft Models\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Kh-59M Ovod-M is carried by numerous Russian tactical aircraft.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eModeling Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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 Kh-59M missiles are finished in overall light gray or white with black or dark gray stenciling and markings. Reference photos will help ensure accurate finish and markings for your specific aircraft and time period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eComplementary Products at MPM Hobbies\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/collections\/454375571687\"\u003eMPM Aircraft Resins collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e - Complete range of ordnance, cockpit details, and aircraft upgrades\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/collections\/399781822695\"\u003e1\/48 MPM Missiles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e - Additional missile options for your aircraft models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Kh-59M variants in \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/7835156611303\"\u003e1\/32 scale\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mpmhobbies.com\/products\/7835328446695\"\u003e1\/72 scale\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther modern Russian ordnance and weapons systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAbout MPM Hobbies\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMPM Hobbies specializes in precision 3D printed resin upgrades and accessories for scale aircraft, armor, and ship models.
