Ha!
The vehicle commander lays the weapon, begins the automated launch sequence, then leaves the vehicle .
The nitrogen launcher charge then fires the V1 off the rail and off it goes.
This version of the V1 uses the guidance system from the V2 so it’s a lot more accurate!

This Vergeltungswaffen -1 by Fieseler has also the benefit of a guidance system to compliment its tactical upgrade.
A Panther based tracking & guidance radar vehicle that can assist with multiple V1 launches and help guide them in to the target.
Very mobile and packed with the necessary electronic systems to support a concerted Cruise Missile salvo on high value targets.
Yeah, I know

..................but it was cool to complete and tidy up to get to the point of running again.

Although the goodies came in a sad way, you are doing as best as one can for Ken by reviving his great handiwork. In the photo below, I believe I see a towbar to hook to one point on the towing vehicle and two on the towed vehicle. Is that correct? If so, did Ken scratch-build that? I could use one for my FAMO.

Yes mate I did. Sadly the stuff that no one else wanted though.
His late Tiger 1 and E100 are still available along with his Leo 2 with all the A7? Gear on it .
The Super Pershing is tagged for me funds pending but the odd or broken ones I got.

I’m sorry mate but I couldn’t tell you. Looking at it closely it seems to be a scratch built item out of various bits but it looks really good .
Tell ya what, if I can copy it close enough I will send you the copy.

They are not listed as such. Rather word of mouth for interest within Australia initially, it’s a complex story .
Pm me if you wish to discuss further, happy to inform as best I can.

"Seems to be a scratch built item out of various bits but it looks really good. Tell ya what, if I can copy it close enough I will send you the copy." Did I understand this correctly? Really!? I could just use the parts and assemble and paint myself. I'd reimburse you for shipping and some extra for the trouble. That's the least I could do. But don't sweat it if you haven't the time or just don't want to.
