The 9K317M Buk-M3 is the latest version of the Buk family of self-propelled medium range surface-to-air missile systems developed by the Soviet Union and then by the Russian Federation. It is designed to counter cruise missiles, smart bombs, fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles in the medium range between the long range S-300/400 systems and the point defense Tor and Pantsir. It has a 36 target channels for targets at maximum speed of 3,000 m/s, an altitude range of 0.015-35 km and a distance range of 2.5-70 km. The system is in service withe the Russian Federation since 2016.
The kit is from W-Model and is mostly 3D printed. The quality is unfortunately not always there (with certain parts suffering from deformations) and progress is still to be made in the mastery of 3D printing (in particular the optimal use of supports). Some details are also missing and all of this therefore requires a little more work than expected. Be that as it may, their important range has the advantage of existing and offering many attractive Soviet/Russian vehicles... but with the growing competition and accessibility of splendid kits from China...
