be thankfull this monster never left the drawing board.



the EMW A-10 ICBM. was the next stage in the developement of german rocket weapons. in this case mounting an A-9 mannned upper stage.

The kit is the A&V resins kit, nice big chuncks of resin here. there are 8 parts to the lowerstage.. the upper stage is a single peice solid casting with a vac form canopy. The kit is 72nd scale, the missile next to it is a 72nd scale A-4/V-2 to show how big this monster is.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

I don't know why, but when I see that ICBM, I think Herman Goering! :lol:

Hey, but at least they had the decency to provide a nicely planted area for their launch sites.

  Cool kit, have never heard of that one before...

Is this the one that was very nearly ready for launching against New York Martin ?

Nice having the A4 for scale - it's definately a "Herman"

Peculiar shaped flowers though....oh, they're models, right?

See what happens when you get old. As young you shot your kits with air guns, and when you get older you move up to the more powerful weapons!  B)  :P  :lol:
