I accidentally bought the Sd.Kfz.4/1 with 8cm rockets, instead of the 15cm version. Since I bought all the PE for it, I really would like to do the originally planned kit.
Opening the box, I noticed that several parts are from the version I would like to have. The question is: are all the necessary parts in there to build the 15cm rocket launcher?
I'm trying to find the instructions online, but not to avail.

Thank you,
A

Hi Andras,

Try email to Roden direct, I had a problem with missing parts and found their customer service first rate. They replaced the defective sprue, with two sprues, within a few days. Give them a try, a really nice lady called Olga replied within the same day.

All the best,

Paul

Dear all,
Thank you all for your answers. Roden, in their awesomeness, include the 15cm version in all their 4/1 kits... So with the instructions I can get the desired version AND some nice 8cm rockets I can use somewhere else. (Where I'm not sure yet.)

Andras, the answer was easier to find than you thought...Armorama review of Roden Vielfachwerfer
"This new kit is basically the entire 15cm Panzerwerfer 42 kit with the addition of two sprue Cs (photo 10) for the launching rails, frame and 48 x 8cm rockets."

I compared the sprue shots on the helpful Roden site:

8cm
15cm

Are we going to be treated to a build log of it?

Hope so... hasn't been active lately, anyway. But first I need to finish 8 (yes 1/72 sd.kfz 251s and two Turans... (Maybe the turans can wait.)
