My foray into WW1 seems to have run its course for the present.
My latest project is concerned with Hitler's V weapons, in this case the V2.
As some of you may remember some years ago I build a bunker with a V1 launch ramp and narrow gauge railway attached, I no longer have this. It was sold to a model railway enthusiast some time ago.
It was when I saw that Takom had produced a kit with a V-2 Rocket a Meillerwagen and a Hanomag SS100 in 1/35 scale tractor that I became hooked.
Obviously some research was required and this site is full of information

Well I started with the Hanomag tractor and then decided to scratch build a Vidalwagen for the transportation of my V2 rocket. I can only find kits in 1/72 for this.
The rockets were stored after delivery by rail and the transported by Vidalwagen, the rocket was then off loaded onto the Meillerwagen and taken to the launch site.
The photos show the progress so far.
