This one is a "What If" kit, it uses the E100 body with a launcher on the top for the V1 flying bomb. Quite a few "plot holes" here, like why would you expend the huge resources to produce a totally over armoured launcher for a rocket that should be nowhere near the front lines, and this thing normally needed a huge ramp and rocket assistance to get airborne.
The box is sturdy and totally packed with plastic.
9 plastic sprues in a light grey plastic, one small PE fret, a small sheet of decals (nicely in register), styrene tracks in their own plastic package (to prevent deformation) and an 18 step instruction sheet in pamphlet form on nice glossy paper with a couple of colour scheme suggestions with Ammo of Mig paint numbers called out.
There is a fair amount of redundancy in the sprues, the eagle eyed of you will have noted two top decks and also a separate missile body and fins. The kit shares parts with other E100 kits and also comes with a complete double up of the suspension, one set molded as one, and one set in individual pieces. The individual set is used for the E100 "tank" builds and in those kits comes workable with tiny metal springs. The "enbloc" set will be used for this build. The other missile body and fins is the complete sprue for the Rheintochter surface to air missile, which shares the E100 and launcher in another ModelCollect kit.
There is no Sprue A (I looked this up as was concerned when I couldn't find it), it contains the "turret" pieces for the E100 tank builds. One of the sprues is unlabelled, investigation reveals this was cut off Sprue B at the factory, most likely so it will all fit in the box.
Hopefully this will be a quick "kitchen table" build!
