Military - German Army WWII - Rockets & Support Equipment (Resin Kit) -- V2 A4 Guided Ballistic Missile - HO-Scale (cmkv013) CMK Model Train Roadway Vehicle

On September 8, 1944, Germany ushered in a new era in warfare, firing the first guided ballistic missiles against Paris and London. The V2 A4 carried a warhead with 1-ton of explosives, flew at the speed of sound and reached an altitude of 50-60 miles; it was impossible to detect or attack in flight. Designed as a highly mobile weapons system, road and rail transport were closely coordinated to deliver rockets, warheads, fuel and other components. This allowed a V2 to be fired almost anywhere within 200+ miles of a target.
In service, each V2A4 was preassembled and weighed about 5 tons empty. It was then moved by rail to a prearranged unloading site. This model makes a great flat car load and is equally at home on the Meilerwagen trailer (sold separately).
