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

                          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.

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