Add authentic modern Russian ordnance to your 1/48 scale jet aircraft models with this detailed 3D printed Kh-59M Ovod-M cruise missile from MPM Hobbies. Designated AS-18 'Kazoo' by NATO, the Kh-59M represents a significant advancement in Russian standoff precision-strike capability—and now you can recreate that capability with museum-quality detail on your Su-24M Fencer, Su-34 Fullback, and other modern Russian strike aircraft.
The Kh-59 Ovod (Russian: Х-59 Овод, meaning 'Gadfly') holds a distinguished place in modern Russian military aviation as a versatile TV-guided cruise missile system. 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.
The 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.
The Kh-59M Ovod-M is carried by numerous Russian tactical aircraft. This missile 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 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.
