Discover the exceptional model kit Yamamoto YMP4802 RUHRSTAHL X-4 LATE VERSION 1/48, an outstanding replica of the German Ruhrstahl X-4 air-to-air missile in its late production version at an impressive 1:48 scale. This product is designed for enthusiasts of German World War II aviation, especially collectors of models such as the Messerschmitt Me 262 or Focke-Wulf Fw 190, for which fitting these missiles was intended.

The Ruhrstahl X-4 was a groundbreaking weapon developed in Nazi Germany at the end of the war, constituting the world’s first guided air-to-air missile. Its purpose was to take down American bombers from great distances, far beyond the reach of onboard gunners. Although work on the missile’s guidance and arming systems continued until the war’s end and it was never widely used in combat, it underwent numerous trials and was tested in prototype integration with fighters such as the Me 262 and Fw 190 between 1944 and 1945. The Ruhrstahl X-4 went on to inspire postwar aviation armaments solutions.
