V2 missile project. The US Army experimented with the V2 missile for years after WWII.

Yep, they were part of the beginnings of our missile program, both military and civilian. Werner von Braun was a V2 developer before he was "spirited" to the US after the war and was involved heavily in the American space program.

The Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas, has a very nice V-2 display if you are ever in that corner of the world.

Nice find. With the right paint job, you can call it a "Freedom Firecracker"!

Surprisingly good models, perfect for wargaming in the right scale. Looking forward to seeing them repainted. Cheers!
