Customscale has released two kits of this WWII-era German ground-to-air missile together with launch ramps.
Developed by Messerschmitt AG in 1944, the Enzian was a ground-to-air missile, having aerodynamic design features similar to that of the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet. There were four models, designated E-1 to E-4, with the last being the planned production model that was designed to use an improved rocket engine.

  • Deutsche Flugabwehrrakete Enzian E-1 mit Lafette und Rampe (35076)
  • Deutsche Flugabwehrrakete Enzian E-4 auf Sockellafette (35077)
All the above are 1/35 scale resin kits.

These are really nice. A selection of techs and launch equipment would round it out nicely.

Did this ever make it to prototype stage?

I read that 60 were built, with 38 being tested. Today two examples are known to exist. One is said to be on display at the RAF Museum in Cosford, while the other on storage at the Australian War Memorial.
