Hello
I've built a set of T27 Rocket Tubes as used on the Calioppe setup.
What I want to know does any body know what the rockets for these looked like also what the size, dimensions of these where.
Also how where these transported before being used.
Where they carried in a wooden box/crate or the Cardboard tubes like mortar rounds etc.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I think the 'standard US shipping container mode' was the cardboard individual tube, itself moved inside wooden boxes. All with suitable markings.

Hi
Thanks for the help guy's.
Wished I'd had some of those pic's when I was scratchbuilding the launcher to go on my rocket truck.
