Another piece of equipment for the V2 launch site. This is the Special Armour kit of the trailer used to supply  liquid oxygen. A simple kit which is going together without problems, so far.

I have come over all nostalgic, I shall have to visit the loft and find my 1/35 one.
Looking forward to your build.

Don't forget to tie a bit of string to the loft entrance - hohoho - we don't want you to get lost in the Tardis.

A fairly quick build with my only reservations being the wheels which, as per usual for CMK, come in two halves with one part being an insert into the other. This leaves a gap which has to be filled and smoothed. Also when joining two together to form the dual pairs required I found that using superglue gave a more positive fit and prevented any movement, as is possible when using normal glue.
The trailer is finished in Dunklegelb and the pressure container, which has a midline weld visible in some photos and which I tried to emulate, and frame are Dark Panzer Grey. This was then given a coat of Flory Wash Grime. Oddly enough the registration number, as seen in an online photo on V2rocket.com, is supplied in the Revell V2 launch vehicle set so this was cut to size and used. I used a pipecleaner cut to size and placed in the sidelocker to replicate the insulated hose used to fill the trailer.

That was pretty fast.
You are building up a great collection.

You'll have a complete V2 installation soon.
