I am trying to find information on the KH-90/AS-19 Koala missile.
I have found some photos and drawings of early test/pre-production/airshow mock-up examples.
Also some dimensions, which when converted to 1/144 scale gives a:

length 3.27 inches
Span (with wings extended) 1.64 inches.

Can anyone out there provide any further information please, particularly drawings of what a production example might have looked like.

Very informative, but needs sub-titles.  ;D

And noting the Royal Navy Tomahawk in the early shots, why do people put such insignia on missiles? Is that so you know who it is who's about to kill you just before the missile goes off?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Is it perhaps a test-shot marked up as such for the video, as a promotional/propaganda piece? So operational ones wouldn't have it, but the footage is to say "look what we've got now"?
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Its a Tomahawk, they want you to know thats it the senior service flying that bomb into your command centre when CNN put footage up as missile flys down Main Street  ;D

The titles are much larger than normal, aren't they?   I suppose the RN wants the bad guys (in Parliament) to know what their spending has bought.  ;D ;D ;D
