Title: Brengun
Post by: Jeffry Fontaine on December 19, 2012, 09:21:05 AM: The surface to air missile known as Wasserfall (Waterfall) is now available as a 1:72nd scale multi-media model kit from Brengun (http://www.brengun.cz/) in the Czech Republic.

1:72nd scale EMW C2 Wasserfall (kit number BRP72002) (http://www.brengun.cz/e-shop/1-72-plastic-kits-28/emw-wasserfall-c2-807)

Mark Davies has uploaded a nice in-box review to HyperScale showing additional kit parts which can be viewed at this link: Brengun 1:72nd scale EMW C2 Wasserfall (kit number) (http://www.hyperscale.com/2012/reviews/kits/brengunbrp72002reviewmd_1.htm)

If the price was a bit lower I could see myself getting a half-dozen or so of these models to use as the basis for a couple of flavours of bomb and missile on a 1:48th scale project.

Perhaps base such material on Soviet "FROG" SSM launchers?

Yes, or something like the SA-4 Ganef vehicle, maybe based on a Nashorn chassis with the superstructure cut down:

Title: Re: Brengun
Post by: Weaver on March 07, 2013, 10:30:39 AM: I got one of the Wasserfalls at the Crewe show: nice little kit.

Having read up on the missile, I've kind of gone off the tracked TEL idea for a couple of reasons:

1. Wasserfall launched from a free-standing position and was stable in 35mph winds, so it didn't need a rail and/or vehicle to hold it up.

2. It was liquid fuelled using hypergolic propellants, so given the relatively high risk of getting a huge explosion instead of a launch (due to dodgy slave-labour late-war production standards), you'd want as few people and hardware near it as possible at the moment you pushed the button.

So what I'm thinking about now is two Sdkfz.7 half-tracks:

1. a standard artillery tractor towing the missile on a skeletal transporter/erector trailer,

2. a flat-bed flakwagon with the AAA mount replaced by the missile's visual director, which I'm presuming would look something like the Enzian's, i.e. a rotating/elevating frame holding two "deck chairs", binoculars and black boxes.

Quite amazing to see a nude 1:144th scale DH2 sans fabric cover.

Hmmm...tempted...don't know why.

Because the voices in your head are saying: "Greg, this would make a great scale-o-rama kit. Replace the nose with a B-57, add larger wings and you have a cool 1/72 pulse engine fighter-bomber".

That's why.

That might work. Maybe the RAF do similar to the USAF and develop a version of it after capturing V-1s. They could use it in an airborne role similar to that played with with the B-17/JB-2:

Would still like a 1/48 Pe-8 though...

Looks fairly accurate from what I remember from when I worked on it. I definitely see some aspects that I remember well..

Now that they have this, I wonder if a Bell Model 406 will be coming out, or an OH-58D, though the under-nose turret would be more applicable to the stillborn OH-58F.
