Whilst picking up the kit Zak kindly lent me 'V2 The A4 Rocket' by Murray Brown this has been invaluable due to the lack of information/help in the kit instructions. It also showed me where I'd gone wrong and had to start again, doh!!! Finally got the towbar together so it will be cause for a single malt when I get back in tonight.

Well done.

Thanks, I was using this site prior to borrowing your book.
Remember how I'd mentioned that the suspension could be a problem? Well..... The first photo shows the instructions and details of block and spring placement. The second is my build done accordingly. The third shows that the axle and wheels then won't sit properly so it was out with a sharp scalpel and reposition things, with the fourth showing that done. The last photo shows the last of the etched brass fitted and the the first coat of paint slapped on 'a la Haddock'.

Looks good though.

Great job.

Painting finished, using Vallejo Dark Panzer Grey and Gunmetal, but more fun was to be had when adding the wheels. The front ones had to be drilled as there was no indent for the axle stubs and the rear ones sat too low, see previous comments re suspension, so I used Evergreen strip to get a better sit. The rear looks low in the photos but I found out after much head scratching that the base is slightly warped (that makes two of us, three if you count MSea). The final photo shows it loaded with the EMW A9 which is the reason I bought it in the first place. I just need to tidy up one of my half tracks and this part of the future diorama is completed.
For a simple kit it was challenging in places but as it's the only game in town it was worth it.

Looks worth the effort.
Haddock.

Well done, you got there.

Looks futuristic as well as great - just needs a zombie or two - hohohoho

Great model. Nicely finished.

Thanks everyone.
