Summary
This is a 1:24 scale model of the US Navy's impressive SM-3 Block IIA missile that is designed to take out incoming ballistic missiles. If an enemy fires a ballistic missile at at a US Navy or other friendly vessel (carrier, destroyer, cruiser, etc) then an Arleigh-Burke Class Destroyer or a Ticonderoga Class Cruiser will launch an SM-3 missile very high up in the atmosphere (or technically beyond it into “space”) in order to intercept the incoming missile. The model shows both the second stage missile as well as the first stage booster.
I plan to release the other SM standard series missiles in the coming weeks, such as the SM-2, SM-6, and ESSM, so stayed tuned for that. All of them will be to scale with each other (which amusingly makes the ESSM a little on the small side, but its realistic :-)
This model easily snaps together for easy assembly – no glue is required.
Bambu labs filaments used were:
- Basic Light Gray
- Basic Dark Gray
- Metal Iron Black
- Silk Silver
