1/72 A4/V2 Rocket - reedition
The A4/V2 Rocket in 1/72 scale by Special Hobby represents the iconic German ballistic missile developed during WWII. The A4, better known as the V-2, was the world's first operational ballistic missile and the forerunner of modern missile technology. It was used primarily in the 1944-1945 attacks on London and Antwerp. The model offers a detailed treatment of the missile and launch platform. The package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
The A4 rocket, later known as the V2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2), was developed in 1944 as the world's first ballistic missile capable of reaching supersonic speeds. Designed by Wernher von Braun and his team, it represented a technological breakthrough in rocket science and became a harbinger of modern space programmes. With a range of up to 320 kilometres, the V2 was used by the German army to attack London, Antwerp and other targets during the final months of the war.
Although its military effectiveness was limited, the V2 became a symbol of advances in rocket technology. After the war, A4/V2 technology was studied extensively by the victorious powers and became the basis for the development of missile programs in the United States and the Soviet Union.
Special Hobby's 1/72 scale model captures this historic weapon in detail, including authentic markings and design features. The reissue of this model is a great opportunity for modelers interested in the history of rocketry and World War II.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed to assemble the model.
