Does anyone know if there are plans out there (or even a kit) for a V-2 that is approx 4 ft. tall and flies on a 38mm motor? Thanks, Bill
This is my A4, alias V2, although that name had not been invented when the rocket depicted here flew in reality. Based on the full scale reproduction on display at Peenemünde, it shows the markings of the fourth prototype which, on 3rd October 1942, made the first successful flight into space.
The model is scratch-built, based on BT-60 equivalent. For a small model of a V2 or variant this is a rather nice size of tube; the real thing had a diameter of about 1.6m, BT-60 has a diameter of about 1.6", so get metric plans and read the dimensions in inches.
The original was at Peenemünde. The model was at Fairlie Moor, near Largs, Scotland.Was that at Snow Ranch?
I built this back in 1974. This was my first camouflage paint job and it came out very well. I modified the build to power it with three D engines. Flew great! I still have it on my shelf. Here's a shot of it flying in the late seventies.
Sandman,
Your Bumper Wac looks terrific! I've got one, too, with staging. Look at the last picture.

Sandman,
Your Wac Corporal looks much better! I would be embarrassed to show a close-up. My Bumper Wac was launched at Hellfire-14 in August 2009. It later crashed, but I re-built it. I am ready to try it again.
