Advertisement: WTB: Used Twelve Soviet Missiles of The Cold War

[TeenRocketNerd]

There are a couple of rockets I am looking to build from the book, but I don't need a new copy, and would like to see if someone is willing to sell or swap for a used copy. Alternatively, I would be satisfied too, if someone would photocopy the pages of interest to me, for which I would also pay accordingly.

Any one that might be able to help please PM me.

Thanks,

Travis

It's funny (or at least it is to me), but when I saw the subject line of this thread my first reaction was, "All right, young man, what exactly do you intend to do with those used missiles, hmmmmm?"

Guess I've been a dad too long .

Alright, Alright... let's got back on topic... (at least until we see if there's life on Mars... )

I'm looking for a used copy, or copied pages from the book : "Twelve Soviet Missiles of The Cold War" by Peter Alway.

Thanks!

I stumbled across that site in my fruitless search, and as un-luck would have it, the two that I'm interested in are not featured. I'm looking for the Korolev R2 and a SSC-1 SCUD-B...

 

[Stymye]

No prob,

the r2 is simply a stretched v2, I have the details on that one
I'll check to see if I have the scub b dimensions and get back to you.

I remember seeing the scud posted on someone's website as a paper model. If someone has a link handy, maybe you could work from there?

Try https://www.gulflink.osd.mil/scud_info/scud_info_s02.htm for a little scale data

A paper model is available here for free (and is convertable to a flying model) https://www.dpileggispicks.com/scudb/index.html

12 Missiles of the Cold War is available for just $15 from NARTS.

Mike Schmidt of Moldin Oldies makes a great clone of the Estes BT60B Scud B nosecone for just $7.

The Estes version of the kit is detailed pretty well on JimZ's site. I have this rocket, if you need measurements taken.

But if you're doing a real scale duplication, some liberties may have been taken on the dimensions.

Exactly, that's why I want scale measurements, because I know that many/most/all of estes' "Scale" rockets are really only "semi scale." And, when it comes to things like that, I'm a perfectionist... I have an original estes scud-b cone, but I want the dims for an upscale... looks like if I want scud details I might have to order a new copy of the book when the rocket budget permits...

But, thanks to Stymye I can get started on my Canadian Arrow to R2 bash!
