scratching up the erector/launcher.

Booster made up

Very cool   

This has a big trailer ,,big truck and a whooping great booster rocket ..whats not to like about this 

[loupgarou]

Interesting scratch work.
But, excuse me, if the direction of launch is forward, shouldn't the whole structure reversed 180° ? The elevating rams or whatever the name is shouldn't be forward?

Maybe, this way put the center of gravity of the JAG over the road wheel of the trailers while in transport mode, allowed the JAG to fit the trailer better better and and worked for moving the JAG up and forward for launch.

OK. So the launch direction is towards the rear.

Finished, might take a few more pictures in better setting.

That's awesome Dave, it really is! 

And the MAN truck-trailer makes for good Anglo-German relations too.

purposeful looking.   and very much the thing i saw when you first posted

That looks great - well done.

It certainly makes sense, in as much as any ZELL scheme makes "sense". (I always think of the disruption on the roads when trying to move one of these things: it would almost make more sense (but not to the USAF of course) to use a naval aircraft with folding wings).

Ball Park..as in out off and into the next county mate ..magnificent build   

The MAN doing sterling work for the Brits as it did for the US in Europe
