I'm always surprised at these type of questions!

1) V1, only 1 available in 1/18.
2) Reasonable cost...an average 1/18 diecast car is over $100 now
3) Decent Model (can't be worse than S1 21c Me 109)
4) Sales help fund additional 1/18 products from new 1/18 company
5) Buy it soon before they dissappear

Worth getting! Just have to make your own cart or launcher! Or hang it from the ceiling headed westward!

Very much worth getting. Mine had an excellent paint job and was easy to assemble. The only downside is that the markings are decals, but expertly applied ones. As it is the only V1 in 1:18 (and one of the few German "wonder weapons" made in any scale) it is worth getting for the sheer novelty :wink:

All of his offerings are handmade and metal in very limited numbers. Great detail and research goes into his stuff.

I've no relationship to the seller other then being a very happy buyer.

I haven't gotten one yet, but I need to, along with that Gee Bee Racer they made.

A V1 dolly-cart would be killer!

Too bad we don't have anything British to chase it like a Hawker Tempest or a Typhoon.
