rav Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) The fourth prototype (V-4) of Aggregat 4 (A4) ballistic rocket, later known as V2 (Vergeltungswaffe-2). The tests of three previous prototypes ended up with failures. The V-4 was launched on October 3, 1942 from Peenemünde and reached altitude of 85-90 km, thus becoming the first man-made object in Space (according to some definitions of the Karman line: 50 miles or about 80 km). After she passed apogeum the rocket fell to the Baltic Sea 190 km away from the launch site. The kit: Revell (1/72).

Doc72 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well done! The rocket looks great. I also like the painting and weathering of the launch platform and the cart. and of course the inflight photos are fantastic. Just some linguistic nit-picking: It's "Frau im Mond". This is actually the title of a 1920s silent sci-fi movie which was popular among Germany's rocket engineers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Nice. Especially the sharp lines on the paint job. Good photos too Id love to see a photo of the model with something in picture to show scale if possible. It can’t be too big in 1/72 which makes your work even more praiseworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
