Special Armour – SA72012 – Meillerwagen V2 Transporter

Description:

Meillerwagen V2 Transporter

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a German WWII Meillerwagen V-2 Rocket transporter, literally the precursor of all the contemporary missile transporter-erector-launcher (TEL).

Define the role of the Meillerwagen in the process of launch an V-2 rocket is a complex process very well described in the Meillerwagen WikiPedia page, but in summary was the responsible of the final transport stage to the launch place, erect the rocket, fuel it, and ultimately ignite and fire the rocket.

The kit is correct and well detailed, of course is possible to up detail the whole scene if you are attempting to depict the intermediate steps such erection or refuel.
