World War 2 - V2 Rocket (Vergeltungswaffe-2) Brick Kit (560 Pieces)

The V2 rocket is one of the most famous so-called wonder weapons (German “Wunderwaffe”), which were supposed to turn the tide of war. This construction still fascinates many history and World War II enthusiasts. This legendary design was so requested that COBI could not resist the ever-increasing questions about this set. Here is the legendary V2 rocket in 1:35. The rocket itself has a removable casing, under which there is a reproduced interior: a powerful rocket engine, fuel tank and a warhead with an explosive charge! The 560-piece set includes: – model of a V2 rocket with recreated interior elements – launch platform The V2 (Vergeltungswaffe 2) rockets were the world’s first long-range ballistic missiles. They were developed by Germany during World War II, and their main designer was Wernher von Braun, later one of the main pioneers of the American space program. The V2s were used by the Germans mainly to attack London and other Allied cities from 1944 onward. The V2s had a range of about 300 km and could carry an explosive charge weighing 1 ton. The design was based on engines burning liquid fuel in a pioneering way. After launch, the rocket would rise to an altitude of about 100 km (that’s space!) and then fall to the target at a tremendous speed, making it virtually impossible to intercept. The V-2 was the forerunner of all modern ballistic missiles and had a significant impact on the development of space technology after the war.
