V2 Rocket and Meillerwagen in 1/72...
...a pre-assembled model from PMA
A pre-assembled model of the V2 rocket, along with the Meillerwagen transporter/erector trailer as well as the launch platform. This is the first example I have seen of this range of collectors models, ready made and painted, from PMA. In this case it features a V2 ricket, complete with details of the motor, the missile itself finished in the black and white quartered scheme. The set also includes the launch platform and its' small trailer and the larger Meillerwagen, a transporter/erector trailer. Things like the stabilisers, the front axles and the lifting frame all move. The size of all of them looks good and it does nicely in this scale. All you might want to go with it is a suitable towing vehicle. The quality of the model is good and I like it. There are other variants in their range, with the missile in alternative colour schemes.

These PMA models are available through UK wholesaler, Tiger Hobbies Ltd, where I bought my example.
