Two nice things about that kit are that they provide a loading trolley and the guidance pod.

What would the difference be in size between that and the 'Kitchen' missile because they look similar. As an aside, a few years ago Hannants had a sale of 'Kitchen' missiles and I grab half a dozen for a couple of Russian kits I have.

Wow! :icon_surprised:

Well, horses for courses: the Kitchen is an anti-ship missile designed to sink an aircraft carrier, while the Kyle is an anti-radar missile, designed to destroy a radar van.

Yes, well, I'd seen pictures of the two, without really knowing their roles, but nothing that really gave me a size reference, nor apparently had kitnut617, & the size difference is somewhat greater than I expected.

so about half the size -- thanks Jeff  :)

Just musing, a 1/72 Kitchen missile would be quite a good 1/48 something or other ---

I keep thinking of a Kitchen or Kh-41 with an anti-radar seeker for deliberately targeting Aegis-cruisers as a means of degrading a CVBG's self-defense capabilities; perhaps coupled with a Kyle variant intended to deliberately take out E-2s.

1/72 CMC LEOPARD 1


1/72 CMC LEOPARD 2


It would make a great light attack A/C or trainer.

History: The CMC Leopard was a British light personal business jet developed in the 1980s. Two prototypes were built and flown, but the type was never put into production. Read more about the Leopard here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMC_Leopard

It would make an excellent light ISR aircraft, too.
