WGr.21 Rockets for Fw 190 1:72 Eduard Brassin The Werfer-Granate 21 rocket launcher, also known as the BR 21 was introduced in 1943 and was the first rocket used by the Luftwaffe. These rockets enabled fighters to engage box formations of heavy bombers beyond the range of their defensive armament. There is also reported use of them against ground targets. These were modified from infantry 21 cm Nebelwerfer 42 projectiles. This set from Eduard provides two launching tubes for their new tool Fw 190 kits. The set provides, two tubes, two rockets, and two rocket heads. The heads are used to make the tubes appear loaded while the full size rockets provide diorama projectiles. Photo-etch provided the rocket ends, tube ends, and the mounting struts. In what is cleaver engineering from Eduard first they provide a PE template which shows you where to drill the holes for the mounting struts. Following this the 4 struts each side are attached to a PE plate. The struts bend down and the whole plate attaches inside the main wing. The upside is that the modeller does not have to attach 4 small struts each side; the downside is they must be attached before the main wing is closed up. Conclusion These parts should enhance the already great Eduard Fw 190. Highly Recommended. Review sample courtesy of
