Why, oh why can I not get hold of a v1 and v2 rocket kit. Any scale will do, but noooooooo, the model companies have stopped production, why oh why

I've got a Tamiya 1/48 scale V-1 and a MAC Distribution 1/72 scale JB-2 Loon (US Navy V-1). I know MAC makes a whole series of 1/72 scale V-1 Buzz Bombs.

Alans right DML just re-released the V2. My LHS had 6 in stock just this week.

Tamiyas 1/48th V1 should be easy to find as well its just a couple of years old.

Both were fun and easy builds.

If you like to maintain the same scale, Accurate Armour's V1 is a nice little kit, with launch rail too, and is in 1/35.

If you go through the list of advertizers on the left, you just may find the kits you are looking for in stock from one of them.

the kit from miniart studio Meillerwagen for V2 is really good if you want to change trhe typical position of the v2 at the launching plattform

or with the gondola railcar from dragon is possible to have an option on transport

v1 from accurate armour and extension is a very goood kit
