Thanks Christian, will upload some more.... 🙂
This was in fact my first etch set, so I didn't know what to expect

Thanks, I think the outcome is good.... although I still would like to ad the wheels and trailers as shown on the box.... but I have to make them myself...

Not included ? A bit of a shame though..... No old howitzer kit to cannibalize in you stash, or something like that ?

Yes, I have ordered the CMK resin Opel Blitz wheels, so I can make the trailer myself...
If you check the pictures you see I have made the steel wheels (that come with the kit) removable, so I can exchange them for the other type.....

Thanks Roland.... it is a very nice kit, I thought it would be very difficult, but in fact, every PE part can be bend by hand (you don't need tools)

I can only imagine how many Dioramas are going to turn up at the various show, now it has had top exposure here.
Thanks for bringing this amazing kit to our attention . 🙂

I just watched the Youtube "Operation Backfire" and it's a wonder that they got as many off the ground as they did. What a complicated process to launch a V-1. !
Interesting stuff ! 🙂
