Robert Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Not sure where this is to go, but as it did not go into space.... After World War 2 many of the German technologies ended up in the USA, including Werner von Braun and his V2. The US started testing of the V2 on US soil at White Sands and they also tried them on the USS Midway. Onto the kit, it is the Revell boxing of the Special Hobby kit and decals is from the US IPMS 2008 convention decal sheet.

Eric Mc Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Quite a few V2s did indeed go into space, although I don't know if that particular one ever did. Of course, they couldn't make it into orbit as their top speed was well below the 17,500 mph needed to achieve orbit. However, quite a few went above the 100km "Karman Line" which is the arbitrary level where space begins. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Excellent rocket. It could be the basis for a simple (or complex…) diorama, with a couple of American whitecoats, including Wernher von Braun himself in his hat. There's a fascinating ten minute documentary from a launch in 1946, that should provide plenty of inspiration for a dio: The actual launch is at 4'50". Kind regards, Joachim 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
