Un modello del marchio Cyber-Hobby il kit : German V-2 Missile – Cyber-Hobby 9140.

Features: Bonus Communications Center The Vergeltungswaffe 2 (“Retaliation Weapon 2”, or V-2) was one of Germany’s wonder weapons, and it was certainly revolutionary at the time. It holds the distinction of being the world’s first long-range ballistic missile, and rockets were used widely against London and later Antwerp. Indeed, more than 3,000 V-2s were launched from September 1944 onwards, resulting in the deaths of some 7,250 people. The V-2 was also known technically as the A4, and it was the progenitor of all modern rockets. A V-2 could reach a maximum altitude of 88km before beginning its ballistic free-fall trajectory. One of the key designers behind the liquid-fuelled rocket project was Wernher von Braun. The 12,500kg and 14m-long rockets were constructed by prisoners at Mittelwerk, and they were fired from mobile launchers that proved difficult for Allied aircraft to target.

Orange Box ha un sorprendente kit di plastica in scala 1/35 del famoso, o forse famigerato, razzo V-2. Questo è un vecchio kit Dragon ma ha resistito bene alla prova del tempo, inoltre include una piattaforma di lancio. Inoltre, sono passati molti anni da quando Dragon's V-2 era disponibile, quindi questa versione Orange Box consente ai modellisti di mettere nuovamente le mani su questa importante arma tedesca della seconda guerra mondiale. Per renderlo ancora più versatile, il set include un centro di comunicazione in scala 1/35 che è pieno zeppo di una varietà di apparecchiature radio e soldati / operatori radio associati. Questo set della collezione Orange Box offre un rapporto qualità-prezzo imbattibile.
