The Nebelwerfer 41 was one of the first 3D kits I made and I'm very happy to say it has been completely updated. The new v2.0 is now made at Shapeways out of White, Strong and Flexible so all of that 3D "sprue" trimming that was required on the old resin one is no longer needed!
Here is a finished one in Normandy Tri-color.

Nice! Going to get another maybe. The sprue trimming was crazy. I broke a lot of parts. lol

Oh and there is also an ammo kit available so you can fill each and every tube in preparation for the big attack!

what are those little pimples all over the barrels? Are those marks on every piece of every kit?

They are the bolts that hold the rocket guide rails to the inside of the barrels. Hard to see in black and white photos but more clear here.
