Von Braun Ferry Rocket 1/72 scale

Up: the boxart shows the third/orbital stage - Cockpit : 40 euros. Orbital stage (without cokpit): 144 euros. Both are sold seperately.

November 2007: The complete orbital stage (the third stage, the first and second stage being the boosters) is now available; there is a metal landing gear to present the ship on the ground, back from space mission after landing on. The body is cast one single part, empty, with walls thick about 2mm. So its possible to scratch the inside (I think to the cargo bay)... and more ! ----------------- August 2007: This kit is based both on Collier's illustration and, as a priority, on Von Braun's drawing (see down the page). -The cockpit, as shown in the pict below, is available. The kit comes with the safety boothes, and a even a vacu parachute for the one who want to present the booth with it. - The complete third/orbital stage(as shown in the boxart just up) master is done, and should be available in end october. The third/orbital stage will be purchasable without the cokpit if you already have it. ---------------- -And about the complete 1/72 Ferry Rocket ? Well, its LARGE... I may realease a very few, if your are interested, mail me
