1/72 A4/V2 Rocket - reedition
Special Hobby 1/72 A4/V2 Rocket is a plastic kit of the German ballistic missile from the Special Armour line, complete with launch table and a small two-wheeled trailer. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The A4, dubbed V2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2) by propaganda, was the first long-range ballistic missile to enter operational use. Developed by Wernher von Braun's team at Peenemünde, it was fired from September 1944 mainly against London and Antwerp, with a range of about 320 km. After the war its technology laid the foundations of both the US and Soviet rocket programmes.
This kit from the Special Armour line is a 1/72 reissue. Judging by the box art and sprue photos, it includes the launch table and a small two-wheeled trailer in addition to the rocket itself. The instructions can be downloaded as a PDF from the manufacturer's website. Special Hobby also offers related kits in the same line, such as the Meillerwagen transporter and the A4/V2 prototypes.
In 1/72 scale the result is a slender, tall model that stands out on its own in a display cabinet or as the centrepiece of a launch site diorama. The camouflage schemes of these rockets give plenty of scope for painting. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
