BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missile

[GTX_Admin]

Does anyone know if there are any kits available of the BGM-109G Ground Launched Cruise Missile system?

I haven't seen one, but maybe you could scratchbuild one for the loadbed of a HEMTT truck?

Tell you what though: I misread the title of your piece, and therefore expected to see an article about a ground launched, cruise missile version of the Bf109G...

Hmmm....now there's an idea...

No company so far has produced a model of the vehicles used with the BGM-109 'Griffon' SSM system based on the Tomahawk cruise missile.  There are a couple of scale models of the cruise missile shape in 1:144th and 1:72nd scale that I am aware of.  There may have been a 1:32nd scale Tomahawk cruise missile also produced but memory is a bit fuzzy on that one. 

The prime mover was a MAN truck btw.

Roskopf did something very similar in 1:87th scale at one time, may have been re-released by Roco.

Just a thought, GLCMs with anti-ship sensors and warheads for costal defence.  They could make life "interesting" for an approaching hostile fleet, even after a severe attack on the country.

Would the launcher fit under the shell of a 40' shipping container? A stealth GLCM launcher

Put such on a small container ship and you'd have a latter-day Q-ship for dealing with raiders in the South China Sea and off the Horn...

Or dress the while thing up like a semi trailer parked in a yard some where......

Also, I don't know if they still do, but Fiddler's Green used to have a card-model of the TEL and tractor that you might be able to use as a start-point for designing a scratchbuild from sheet-stock. (PRE_POST EDIT: They do! http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/models/aircraft/Cruise-Missile.html )

Heck, Conex wrapper you could have dedicated missile trains rolling around Europe disguised as regular freight... and a Container Q-ship so armed might be able to not just handle pirates but their bases too.
