Helicopter Armament Subsystem XM-3 2.75-Inch Rocket Launcher for UH-1B Helicopters

Bring authenticity to your Vietnam-era Huey Hog builds with this highly detailed XM-3 24 Shot Pod kit.

Designed to replicate the armament subsystem that played a crucial role in Aerial Rocket Artillery (ARA) missions, this kit is perfect for aviation history enthusiasts and scale modelers alike.

Kit Includes 2 rocket pods and enough Folding Fin Aerial Rockets (FFAR) to fully equip them.

The XM-3 Armament Subsystem was a game-changing weapon used by UH-1B and UH-1C helicopters during the Vietnam War.

Each helicopter could carry 48 rockets in two pods, mounted on either side, making them highly effective in close air support missions. Equipped with the MK8 reflex sight for targeting, this subsystem provided precision firepower during combat.

Armed with 2.75” Folding Fin Aerial Rockets (FFAR), the XM-3 became the backbone of aerial rocket artillery units.
