I've been waiting for something like this for years. Now I can do a diorama of a RODA targeting it.

What a funky little beast of a subject; never seen it before and at first thought that it was some caricature of a Soviet-era mobile missile launcher. Hmmm.

"little beast" ??
Well, Little Rocket Man might not be the tallest dicktator in the world (just shy of 5'7") but he gives some scale to this "little beast"



A T-55 rides on 5 of those road wheels ...

Hobby Boss claims that the finished model is 362mm (14 1/4 inches) long and 102.5mm (4 inches) wide which is 9.5 mm wider than their Type-59 (Chinese T-54/55 derivative)

A "little beast" only compared to the Soviet-era self-propelled missile transporter-erectors like those that serviced the SS-20 series is what I meant. And no, Kim is not in any way "funky".

Everything is small compared to those,
to get larger kitswe would need to go into shipping ...

This was a great surprise! Looks like a great kit. Hope they also do the Hwasong 14 in 1/35th!

THAT would be something to see, not to mention: try to smuggle into the stash ...
