Description

This is an injection-plastic jet aircraft model kit.

From Ukrainian company A-Model, a completely new injection-molded kit is now available.

The RDS-6s was the device used in the Soviet Union's first thermonuclear test conducted in August 1953.

Although the Soviets publicized the RDS-6s as their first hydrogen bomb, it was actually a boosted fission weapon with partial fusion reactions. Its yield was about 1/26 that of the Ivy Mike device tested by the United States in 1952.

The RDS-6s used a layered arrangement of uranium-235 as fission fuel and lithium-6 deuteride as fusion fuel, known in the Soviet Union as the "Sloyka" or layer cake design. A similar concept had been theorized in the United States as the "alarm clock" design, but it was never tested.

Despite not being a true hydrogen bomb, Soviet propaganda exaggerated its yield to megaton levels and presented it as a deployable thermonuclear weapon, distinct from the first U.S. thermonuclear device.

The RDS-27, developed from the RDS-6s, was tested in 1955 as the warhead for the Soviet Union's first intercontinental ballistic missile, the R-7, but like the RDS-6s, it was never fully deployed.

The kit includes a dedicated transport trolley and photo-etched parts.
