Rheintochter transporter/erector?

I've just received the Modelcollect Rheintochter, and a very nice little kit it is - 2 launchers and 2 missiles.  This did set me thinking about how the missiles were to be transported and then transferred to the launcher.  I imagine some kind of crane truck and a dedicated trailer, but what did they imagine and use?

 

I've also seen a view from a Shizuoka show showing a Rhientochter launcher and rocket, but also another launcher with Rheinbote.  That is tempting... does anyone know more about this kit?

That's the kind of thing I had in mind but the missiles would need some kind of cradle for support when travelling, not just plonked down on its rather fragile fins.  I do like the half-track with the crane, and might look out for that.

 

PS  the Milicast one is unavailable, as are most of their range with the crane, other than a truck.

 

The Rheinbote is 1/35th
