Hi Monica.
That's looking good, the rocket has come out well.
How thick is the paper ?

she must have been crazy standin nr that as it could have gone off anytime
I'm not too sure that pic is genuine. Surely the V1 would show a lot more damage after free fall from 'X' height ?
But that doesn't matter, it's still a great pic and a nice subject to model.

Monica,

Looks good so far, interesting and unusual diorama coming to life.

Colin,
Here's another one!!!!

I too thought it was a bit fanciful - surely they would have broken up on impact?
Obviously another bit of German over engineering.

Paul.

Well that does look very genuine. So yes, solid things those V1's. I'm surprised they actually managed to blow themselves up !

I was kind of thinking maybe a bit of a staged one as well,for a bit,but then saw some others so ,ya
it could happen they did see on 100s of them
see the pic Paul posted,as well

there were,and at the start of them making theses were piloted,to get them flying right,and it took a bit getting the
v2 right as well,the shells were to thing,and need more supports,that what they worked out from slowmo film,that the shel
would buckle with height,;)
