Carius Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Here is my build finished today. I made several improvements on the Custom Scale Flakrakete Rheintochter IIa resin conversion kit, mainly superdetalling and scratchbuild parts on sidewalls, including full telemetry system. I added Zimmeritt and photo etched on my Panther Ausf.G from Dragon. Edited February 25, 2018 by Carius 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisGL Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 (edited) Top notch job as usual!!, very well done in all aspects, i especially like the front shell of the rocket, very well achieved, it looks like "real armor", and the wood of the rocket's back, very authentic too, Cheers Cesar Edited February 25, 2018 by FrancisGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny akes Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I've loved the look of the Rheintochter ever since seeing the one at Cosford forty-odd (fifty?!!) years ago - it looks even better mounted on an AFV chassis like that. Great work, a real inspiration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hello Carius ! Good idea ! and very nice kit, However, I would'nt have to stay on the seat when the rocket is fired !! That will be a hot place for sure ! Nice job on painting and weathering, I suppose that you already have a Coelian in your collection ! Did'nt know that they have had this idea.... Once again ! sincerely. Corsaircorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_farrier Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Awesome work!! having never heard of this I was amazed to find a program on tv about german guided weapons. 1943 onwards. Think most famous was the X1 guided bomb. Great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carius Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Many thanks Steve. You mean the german flying bomb V1, I think. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No X1 was a guided anti shipping bomb developed during 1943 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritz_X they also had the Henshel hs293 dropped from a dornia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henschel_Hs_293 a bouncing bomb dropped from a FW190 1:25 in this video and the mistell project (though neith the last 2 are true guided weapons) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mistel hope these can inspire some future builds for people :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
