jester292 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I have the Eduard 1:48 AIM-9L/M resin missiles and am wondering what the difference is. I assumed it would be a physical difference. I can't find a good reference online. Can someone enlighten me? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pollie Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I know they have different arming keys; in the L the arming key is turned and removed while the arming key of the M stays with the missile. So when not modelled in flight no real external differences I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firewill Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I think 9M have large fuze window, as pic show above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 The M has improved electronic-countermeasures and a low smoke motor but little external differences other than fuse windows as stated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 Great info. Which one is modeled in the "AIM-9L/M" Brassin set by Eduard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

From the research I did the AIM-9L only had the small fuze windows on early models and prototypes. They were equipped with the larger windows for production models. For an in depth explanation of the differences between the L and M, see mrvarks excellent post here: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
