1/700 C-201W (HY-2) Silkworm Missile (x12)

This set is in 1/700 scale. The individual Guided Missiles should be cut from the sprue at the base of the missile behind the fins. The main fins are deployed so the missile should be used as part of another model kit, like a ship, building or bridge.

According to Wikipedia: "The HY-2 is identical to the HY-1 but with a further stretched body. The missile features a round nose accommodating the radar seeker, a pair of mid-mounted delta wings on the middle section of missile body, and three tail control surfaces. The missile is powered by a liquid-fuel rocket motor, with a solid rocket booster attached under the missile fuselage.

The HY-2 is launched from land-based launcher and flies at an altitude of 1,000m during the initial stage of the flight. After the missile switched to the cruising mode, the flight altitude was reduced to 100~300m. During the final stage of the flight, the missile switched on its radar seeker and dives to an altitude of 8m until it hits the target. The single-shot hit probability is estimated to be 90%. Due to its oversized body, the HY-2 did not develop a ship-to-ship variant. The missile is obsolete and will be replaced by the YJ-8 series in the future.

The HY-2 was widely exported to the Middle East, and was the missile most associated with the silkworm nickname."
