OK, we now have a V-2 available for us

Post by Threetoughtrucks » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:20 am

That's the good news...... the bad news for some of you is that it is in 1/6 -

What an addition to your toy collection. WOW... :roll:

OK, so the initial price is $225 (including a launch crew) and the height would be what..... a second WOW...... but.....

Fake, it seems. :-)
But I dare say the 1:18 V1 makes for a more interesting model than a 1:6 V2 anyway.

It was so obviously fake, I didn't have to read the comments to figure it out.

Perhaps the resolution on your monitor is not so good that you could pick out the 'shop marks and such that give it away?

Sorry guys, I jumped the gun, when I posted this, not all the comments were posted. :mrgreen:

I have a pic of a scratch built 1/6 V-2 and it is awesome. I did picture this DML V-2 in a corner of my living room. :oops:

No apology necessary TTT. In 1:6 this would have been eyecatching. But I think a 1:18 V2 with launch pad and the modified vehicles used to service and launch the missile would be awesome. :-) Maybe someday we will get lucky.

I was thinking there was something funny about it as well. Too bad, but a sigh of relief as well. A little over $200 seems way too cheap for a 1:6 V2 anyways. The high ceiling in the den of my new house would certainly fit one, but do I really want to look as crazy as I would with a giant German rocket in my living room? Part of me would say yes :lol:
