The V2 Replica

"The V-2 (German: Vergeltungswaffe 2, "Retribution Weapon 2"), technical name Aggregat-4 (A-4), was the world's first long-range[4] guided ballistic missile. The missile with a liquid-propellant rocket engine was developed during the Second World War in Germany as a "vengeance weapon", designed to attack Allied cities as retaliation for the Allied bombings against German cities. The V-2 rocket also became the first artificial object to cross the boundary of space with the vertical launch of V-177 on 20 June 1944.[5]" - Wikipedia

I created this replica to be as accurate as possible, down to the paint job. It was my first attempt ever at "painting" a rocket, and to be honest the first true replica rocket I have built. (Apollo Mission coming soon!) I learned a lot from it. To "paint" it, i used empty heat shields, as well as backward antennas, which are the only true black parts (not grey, like ore tanks).

 

The craft is however roughly 300 parts, and lags A TON. Also due to ascetics the rocket is no where near it real weight, (a lot more) it is just a replica of size, shape, and looks. I have been really lazy to get this out, and I have FINALLY (lets see if its out before 12) gotten around to releasing it. Have fun flying!

Damn, that is one beautiful rocket. How far is its range?

[Majorjim!]

Hey man, how many antennas are there? If you use too many it creates mega lag.

[Bubbadevlin]

Majorjim: Lets just say alot... Its really just a showroom thing, it lags a ton

 

pTrevTrevs: Idk really the range, although it is less than the real life version. Even empty heat shields are heavy!

Fair enough man, I am not adverse to a high part count for detail sake! Do you have Kronal Vessel Viewer? It can show a lot more detail if that's what you want to show off.

Yea, i am aware of KVV, and i tried it for a pic of my original walker. It worked, however it lagged my editor so much i uninstalled it.

Yeah you have to exit the VAB/SPH after you use it. That stops the lag.

Wow.

That's a lot of antennae. The last time I used so many (I was painting the underside of a shuttle black), my game crashed and I had to reinstall it. Nice work/insanity!

Amazing!  My V2 was just fairing colored.  It's a very tricky shape to replicate exactly.
