1/24 V-2 Kit - SpaceMonkeyModels

[aae83]

Just stumbled across this one on the largescaleplanes.com modeling forum: a small company named spacemonkeymodels has recently released a 1/24th scale, blow-molded V-2 kit for $59.95. A little smaller than XD scale, but an innovative way to produce kits, and the price seems fair.

I'll probably get one just to see how the whole process works and to experience the quality of the final kit. Would prefer to have 1/18th scale, though, and intrigued by the possibilities of his process, so religiously following gburch's progress with his 3D printer project.

Cheers!

gburch's can do part print and part model rocket tube?

Ironically, I came across this kit yesterday. Not surprising, I guess, since these days I end up seeing just about everything there is on the web to do with V-2s. I may well get this kit as a reference.

Doh! Missed YT's earlier posting of the same kit on the "1/16th V-2" thread... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24234
Ugh.
