Summary
Want a scale model of the first ever production air to air missile? This is a 1:8 scale model of the famous AIM-9B Sidewinder invented by the US after WWII and put into production in the 1950s. It continued to be updated and is still used today as the AIM-9X. The model takes seconds to assemble and comes in different paint jobs to choose from: US Navy, US Air Force, NATO, and others.
What is an AIM-9B? The AIM-9B was the first production model of the Sidewinder, a supersonic, heat-seeking air-to-air missile that entered service in the mid-1950s. Its passive infrared guidance system was limited to tracking the hot exhaust of enemy jets, which meant it was only effective for tail-chase attacks at close range and could be easily countered by flares, the sun, or sharp maneuvers.
