Hi and Happy New Year everyone.

During the holidays I found this kit which I had started a couple of years ago and forgot it so I decided to finish it. The trailer/dolly that comes in the kit is in my oppinion quite boring. How was the V-1 transported or stored before launch instead of using the trailer in the kit?
Thanks for any help on this.

Hi Torbjörn

Here's a wartime photo that might help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-1973-029A-24A,_Marschflugk%C3%B6rper_V1_vor_Start.jpg

All the best

Thanks for your help. When I was searching on the internet for pictures of the dolly I found some on a restored V-1 on a piece of launching rail. Maybe I will do some scratchbuilding and place it on a launching rail instead of on a dolly.

Thanks again guys.
