Reviews : Tamiya German V1 Flying Bomb

The Tamiya V1 Flying bomb is a simple, but fun kit. The bomb itself has only 8 parts, while the cart has 9. There are a couple of different paint schemes and a small decal sheet. The only instructions are on the box back, which are sufficient. I enjoyed this easy build, and the result is different than my normal airplane or jet aircraft builds. Recommended for those looking for a quick and different modelling experience.

The model appears to be very spot on to the actual v1 rocket. There are only a few pieces so this model is in no way very difficult which makes it great for people off all skill levels. Because of this I also find this to be an excellent model to start practicing painting models (if your into that) as it is not very large and does not require super detailing so you can learn on it.

This is another great kit to fill the gap in the history of rocketry. Good or bad, the history of rockets needs to be told. The kit went together without any issues and the display cart adds a nice feature to the overall kit. I highly recommend this kit for any level of experience in model building.

Nice simple build with a trolley to use for display. The V-1 is relatively simple and is painted in two tone RLM Licht Blau and Gruen for the lower and upper surfaces. Enjoyable build all the way around. Very basic modeling skills but advanced modelers will no doubt find fun here too.

Only had about 20 pieces so it was easy to assemble, great for people who are new to modelling or wanting to get back into it (like myself). Had a load of fun making it and painting it! Will be buying another!

I knocked this out in about 6 hours over a week. Weathering the cart was fun as well. Nice change for almost instant gratification!
