1/72 A4/V2 Prototypes
A4/V2 Prototypes in 1/72 scale by Special Hobby presents early prototypes of the German V-2 ballistic missile developed at Peenemünde during WWII. These test versions were used to test aerodynamics, propulsion systems and navigation, leading to the operational deployment of the V-2 in 1944. The model offers an authentic treatment of the early variants of the missile with characteristic test features. The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
A4/V2 Prototypes in 1/72 scale by Special Hobby depicts the early development stages of the German V-2 ballistic missile, which was the first operationally used missile projectile system in history. The development of the A4, later known as the V-2, took place in Peenemünde under the direction of Wernher von Braun and his team. The first successful test flight took place on 3 October 1942, paving the way for further development of the rocket technology.
The test specimens had various modifications to the aerodynamics, stabilisation surfaces and engine systems. Some carried experimental camouflage or special test coatings for better flight tracking. These prototypes played a vital role in improving the control and stability of the missile, enabling its later combat use.
The 1/72 scale model offers a detailed rendition of the early versions of the A4/V2 rocket with authentic details and characteristic features of the test pieces. An ideal choice for modelers interested in the development of rocketry and World War II.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
