Bumper 2 Plan?

[mcderek]

Does anyone know where I can find a dimensional plan for the Bumper 2? I would like to convert my US Rocket 2.2 V2 into a stand off scale version. Thanks!

Alway's Rockets of the World, 4th edition. pg. 91.
PS assume you mean Bumper V2? not familiar with a Bumper 2 missile combo.

Technically it would be the RTV-G-4 Bumper. A V2 with a WAC Corporal second stage.

Always' dimensional drawing shows dimensions for the combo and a drawing of the WAC Corporal alone with just the fin width dimension.
Looks like the nose cone had slots and an opening for the WAC Corporal so that only part of the fins were exposed.
The next page has drawings for the paint patterns for rounds B-5, B-7 and B-8.
Try to beg, borrow or steal a copy from a friend or the library.

The text is also an interesting read. Because it would fly in rarefied air the upper stage was given four fins instead of the original three and was larger by 50% as well as a different shape. Two spin rockets were added housed in a diamond shaped fairing. Four sets of three rollers between the fins engaged four rails in the V2s' nose cone.. These are all shown in the drawing.

See if this helps. The scale is wrong for your model, but the original dimensions are listed.

Perfect. Thanks!
