Germany WW2 V-1 Flying Bomb

The V-1 represented here in 1/48 scale. It was really the world’s first cruise missile, although totally inaccurate. It was used as a terror weapon against London by the Third Reich. This was put together using two different kits. The Tamiya kit was bad enough to warrant using a different kit for the V-1 itself, while the cradle used to bring it to the launch catapult was utilized, the actual V-1 I chose was a kit made many years ago by MPM. The Tamiya kit’s V-1 is modeled terribly with the cowling being way too thin which means the stanchion going from the fuselage to the engine cowling is also way too long. I added details such as in the fuel section, the rudder control, cradle details and a few other numerous small items I gathered from period photos.
