The latest from Customscale is the WWII-era German surface-to-air missile, the Wasserfall.
One of the many German rocket and missile projects of the Second World War was the Wasserfall. It shares the general layout and shape of the V-2, but is smaller in size as it was developed for anti-aircraft purposes. There have been three versions: W-1, W-5, and W-10, notable visual differences being the sizes of the missile and design of its wings. The final version, the W-10, was similar to the W-5 except it was 27% smaller, to help conserve scarce materials.

Customscale depicts the W-10 version of the Wasserfall, together with its carrier / ramp. Deutsche Flugabwehrrakete Wasserfal C2 W10 mit Startrampe (35074) is a full resin kit rendered in 1/35 scale.
