                        I love the classic lines of the German A4/V-2 missile and have built models of them in various scales.  This is the 1/72 kit from Condor.  Fairly simple; gave me a nice opportunity to work on my freehand airbrushing.  I'm pleased with how it came out, except I may have darkened the finish just a tad too much.

                        You are right about the classic line. I think the V-2 is the archetypical missile. I like how your Condor kit came out. Did you scratch build the base?

                        The launch platform came with the kit.  I just added that to some ground cover and a wood base.   The launch platform is actually the most complicated part of the whole kit!
