Dandiego Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I have been working on a Regulus II cruise missile. Printing out some parts, looks good so far. However I am looking for info on the launch trailer. My best reference so far are some photos of the old Aurora and Monogram box scale models which include the launcher. But it is hard to get enough info from these photos to begin construction. Does anyone have some clear photos or drawings which would help? Thanks, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Hi Dan, I had a look in my Regulus digital folder. I found a lot of pictures but none of the launcher... Why not simply build the model with the tricycle landing gear? Thierry Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 Thanks for looking Thierry. Seems as if the launcher is quite elusive. Why do I continually work on projects that are so off the beaten path that there is no info to be found. Yep, I could build it with the landing gear but I thought that the guided missile with booster rocket and launcher would be cooler. Anyway if there is no reference material on the launcher then no one can say I got it wrong. Dan Jack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 I know what you mean about such projects! Did you know that movie? https://vimeo.com/405459150 I'm afraid it will be very difficult to find more information than a possible technical manual as I don't believe any of the launching trailers has been preserved.

quang Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Brings back memories. The first kit I ever built was the 1958 Revell Regulus II. I found the two-tone finish and its respective negative NAVY lettering particularly brilliant. The red sky was not half-bad neither Edited April 18, 2023 by quang LSP_K2, thierry laurent and Dandiego 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted March 5 Author Share Posted March 5 Bill, those are some really nice photos. My build stalled because my launch vehicle began to fall apart. It will be necessary to rebuild the entire vehicle. Your photos will be a big help. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
