The Rafael Python 3 is a modern short-range air-to-air missile, designed in Israel by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems. The missile entered service in the 1980s during the Cold War period and is still used by air forces of many countries, including Israel, Brazil, Chile, and South Africa. The Python 3 gained recognition for its effectiveness in dogfights, especially during operations by the Israeli Air Force over Lebanon, as well as in conflicts in the Middle East and South America.

The model from RES/KIT stands out with excellent detail representation, sharply defined control surfaces, a guidance head, and fuselage segments.
