Modelcollect V1 and Launch Ramp 1/72
This is a cracking kit, especially as you get two complete V1s and ramps. They would be excellent blitz fodder and this was indeed my intention until real life intervened. There may still be a chance later in the month!
I made a quick base for it to go on and the idea is to add other military items and make it an open air museum....

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That is very cool and a wonderfully done diorama to display it on.

Stunning work.
My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Super work all round

Beautiful work there. I have one of these though the pre built one. I am going to re-work it into the JB1 Loon.
All the best.
