Revell 1:72 V2 in launch configuration

A small order from Hobby Lobby arrived today. Amongst the various modeling goodies received, are a couple of pine ovals, one of which I'll be using for the display base for this project. Once landscaped and a few trees/shrubs added, it should look pretty spiffy.

Cool little side project Kevin. Quite a difference in scale from that track you're building.

I had occasion to go to Home Depot yesterday, so snatched some textured paint for the base. I think once “landscaped”, this’ll look just great, at least I certainly hope so.

This really cries out for an Horizon Models Mercury Redstone and Mercury Atlas next to it on the shelf, doesn't it? ... or even better, a Gemini Titan and an X-20 on top of a Titan next to all of them. I guess you can get the Luftwaffe 46 manned V-2 versions in this scale also for a fuller range of von Braun. But then you'd need one of those 1950's ships with the big wings and vast numbers of the V-2 engines in multiple stages. Yes, I get carried away... all the time.

 

Thanks for letting us see some great work.

I actually recently received the AMT rocket series kit, complete with a Redstone, Atlas, Titan II, Saturn 1B and Saturn V. I intend to do all of those as a five rocket display.

While placing an order for some other items this month, I snatched a tube of this putty to try out, specifically on this little V2. I hear it’s great stuff, so I guess I’ll see for myself this weekend.

I have the Redstone and Atlas rocket families by Horizon Models.  They build up to convincing replicas.  They are all presented in 1/72 scale. A nice match up with the V-1 kit.

The box art for the Redstone, in particular, looks quite excellent.

Lookin' forward to the progress on this one Kevin.
