Another V-2, this time in 1/48
Posted by paulhelfrich on Thursday, November 22, 2012 7:16 PM

Just finished another A4/V-2 missile.  This time, it's the recent 1/48 release from Pegasus. 

It's a "snap kit," but it goes together just fine with glue.  And, I have to say, the fit was quite good, way better than you would expect from something billing itself as "snap." The molding detail was quite good as well.  I have to give Pegasus pretty high marks for releasing such a nice model, simple enough for anyone to build, but rewarding for the experienced modeler as well. 

This V-2 is painted in the Geflammt or "wavy" pattern that was used for only a short time.

 Paul, nice job!   looks menacing just sitting there.

The granite base is a very nice touch....

.......lends weight to the model

Nice work on that rocket! !

Pegasus has been releasing some nice kits.

Last V-2 kit I can recall was a 1/35 Dragon? kit costing quite a bit more.

Otherwise, I believe the modeler only had the old box scale Revell kit.
