Need help identifying a missile
Post Body

I'm currently building a (cheap, offbrand/knockoff, so it's unlabeled) MiG-29 model, and I'm provided with two types of missiles for it. One, I identified as R-60 / AA-8 Aphid, but the other one I'm strugling with...

Crawling through Wiki, I've found a picture with it in it, but without any label. In this picture we have R-73 on the front, then R-60 - does anyone know what the 3rd one is?

EDIT: I should have probably started with this... here's a picture of the actual model parts - sorry about quality. The right ones are the ones that I've mistaken for the one in the first linked photo - the rear looks the same. As you can see, it has only rear fins, and is "pointy" (so no IR trackers, probably). It is a poor-quality model, so it might just be someone's "artistic vision".

EDIT 2: It seems that this is a "generic missile", not based on any real-life model, that loosely incorporates some visual features from R-40, some KH-29 variants and maybe R-33.
