Takom goes ballistic

[Philipp Gross]

With two very exciting new releases:




Since it's a bit hard to read: The first kit includes the launch table, while the second kit has the full set of tractor, trailer and V2.

Interesting choice of subject. I have the Dragon V-2 in the stash. I don't think that has a launch base though.

Takoms kit with the tractor is a neat set up.

I don't think we ever had the Meillerwagen in 1/35 before. I'm very excited for this release, though the big set might be a bit expensive. It's really hard to imagine that back then they went from fabric-clad biplanes to spaceworthy missiles in less than 10 years...

Fun fact: These days Meiller (the company that made the launch trailer) is a leading German manufacturer of dump trucks...

Yep, it's one thing that fascinates me about the years of World War 2, and the few years following. Technology advanced at a crazy rate! War is a major player, and i guess it is sad it has to be war, in advancing the human race. Shame it also shows how primitive us humans can be.

Quite right Philipp. The full tractor and trailer is very tempting though even if it is going to be expensive. Roll on Christmas
