About the Manufacturer

Revell has a long-established reputation in the scale modelling hobby for producing accessible, historically minded plastic model kits. Their releases span aircraft, ships, vehicles and rockets, and are valued by hobbyists for clear instructions, reliable fit and models that reflect well-known historical subjects.

Historical Background

Developed in Germany during the Second World War, the A4/V2 rocket was the first long-range ballistic missile to use a liquid-propellant engine and to travel beyond the boundary of space. As an early crew of large rockets, it bridged wartime engineering and later post-war rocketry advances.

Although deployed as a weapon during the conflict, the A4/V2 also holds notable significance for the history of spaceflight and rocket development. A scale replica offers both a reminder of the technological leap it represented and an intriguing subject for display within a historical modelling collection.
