AIM-9L Sidewinder Missiles (4 pcs) (F-4, F-5, F-15, F-16, F-18, F-22, F-111, Harrier, Tornado, Eurofighter, Hawk, Gripen) (3D Printed) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0481 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0481 is a 1/48 AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles set with 4 pieces, produced in 3D printed resin to keep the missile bodies straight and the small fin edges crisp. On 1/48 jets, Sidewinders sit at the wingtips or outer pylons where they are always in view, so clean symmetry and consistent fin thickness make the loadout look noticeably sharper.

Aftermarket resin accessory designed for aircraft scale model kits.

Highly detailed resin parts intended for accurate 1/48 scale aircraft models.

Because these missiles are typically carried in matched pairs, any difference in fin alignment or body taper becomes obvious when viewed from the front. A replacement set can help keep all four missiles identical and reduce cleanup work on delicate fins compared with many kit parts.

For modelers: dry-fit each missile to your kit rails before painting and confirm the attachment points sit level. Prime lightly to preserve fin edges, paint missiles separately, and install them at the end; use a simple straight edge to keep all four aligned at the same angle.

FAQ

Will these AIM-9L missiles fit any 1/48 kit listed as compatible?

The set is listed as Any / Universal, but rail interfaces can be kit-dependent. Dry-fit to your kit rails and adjust the contact area as needed.

How should I prepare 3D printed resin missiles before painting?

Wash the parts thoroughly, let them dry completely, then apply a thin primer coat. This supports even paint adhesion while keeping fin edges crisp.

How can I keep all four missiles aligned consistently?

Install missiles after the main painting is complete and check alignment from front and rear views. A straight edge or simple jig helps keep angles consistent across pairs.
