We present a unique plastic model kit – Hobby Boss 82937 Russian 4K51 Rubezh Coastal ASM with P-15 in 1/72 scale. This is an extremely detailed miniature of the modern Russian 4K51 Rubezh coastal defense missile system (NATO reporting name: SSC-3), which for many years was one of the cornerstones of land-based missile defense for the USSR and its export clients.

Brief historical overview: The 4K51 Rubezh system was developed in the USSR during the Cold War period. It entered service in the 1970s and remains in use by many countries to this day, including both the Russian Federation and foreign users. It is based on the MAZ-543 8x8 truck chassis—a highly mobile platform also used for numerous other Soviet military designs. The distinctive KT-161 launcher holds two P-15 anti-ship missiles. The system was used in many maneuvers and by navies in coastal interface regions—e.g., during armed conflicts in the coastal zones of the Middle East.
