Hey, I'm gathering a little preparation for my Iranian Tomcat build, and here I just finished dismantling my junkyard... and wouldn't you notice, I'm short a single R-27/AA-10 Alamo AAM.  So, anybody who happens to have one, I'd appreciate a PM.

I work in 1/72 Scale.  I can countership some ordnance at request.  My two salvage Fulcrums lost parts prior to my move, and apparently three of four R-27's are missing.  The odds of that.

Yep, I have some spare ones of those, there are two missiles that look similar, one is longer than the other, the one you want is the shorter one of the 2 isn't it? What manufacturer of model kit is it? just of interest, if it is the Italeri one I have 2 kits that I can take the missiles from.
Cheers,

Mine's originally from the Hasegawa Fulcrum, 1/72 scale.  I don't recall an Italeri kit that has R-27's.  I know I apparently have an R-73 from one, and ironically they differ between two kits (Su-34 vs Ka-52).  It could also be a difference between the model of the R-27 missile they tried to do - the IR seeker vs Radar seeker model, one would have a pointed tip, one a rounded tip.

Yes, the different length could be a result of which model of the R-27 is included - there are both different seeker heads and different engines:
