Pylons for MiG-29 (APU-470 2 pcs for R-27 & APU-73 4 pcs for R-73) Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0402 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0402 is a 1/48 Pylons / Bomb Racks set for the MiG-29 Fulcrum, including APU-470 (2 pcs) for R-27 and APU-73 (4 pcs) for R-73. This set helps refine the look of a MiG-29 loadout by adding cleaner launcher geometry and sharper edges than many kit parts, which becomes especially visible when missiles are mounted.

It is useful when kit pylons/launchers look simplified or when you want consistent alignment across multiple stations. Because wing mounting points and locating tabs differ between kit brands and toolings, installation should be treated as kit-dependent even with an Any / Universal recommendation.

For modelers: dry-fit each launcher to the wing and to the intended missile before painting, then mark the correct angle so paired stations match. Keep primer coats thin on the rail edges to preserve the crisp profile and avoid rounding the small details.

FAQ

Do these pylons fit any 1/48 MiG-29 kit?

The set is Any / Universal, but wing mounting points and locating tabs vary by kit tooling. Dry-fit first and adjust only the hidden contact areas if needed.

Should I test-fit missiles to the launchers before painting?

Yes. A quick test-fit helps confirm the angle and contact points, and it prevents paint buildup from interfering with a clean join on the rails.

How can I keep left and right stations aligned?

Install or test-fit both sides at the same time and compare from the front and underside views. Mark reference points on the wing so each launcher sits at the same cant angle.
