Description

The V-2 is the most famous rocket ever built. Designed by Werner von Braun for the Nazi war effort during WWII, the V-2 was the world’s first large liquid fueled rocket. Originally designated the A-4, thousands were built by prisoners during the early 1940’s. After the war, many captured V-2s were flown by the U.S. as well as the Soviet Union. Despite its’ horrific inception as a weapon of destruction, the V-2 was the forerunner of all the large liquid fuel rockets which were to follow.

Featuring a balsa boattail, balsa nose cone and laser-cut basswood fins, this 11 1/4″ tall model is true to scale and flies on standard 18mm A thru C motors.
