Hajo L. Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 This was another project for a collegue and friend of mine - the guy with the interest in strategic weapon systems... 😉   During current research he had learned about the project "High Virgo", an Air Launched Ballistic Missile that has been tested from a B-58. Best is to watch this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVtosAjWUvY  The build of this relative old kit was plain and simple, I used Caracal Decals to have markings for the test airframe of Convair. Great decals, I have to say!    As you can see, we realized a "flying configuration". 😉 The "High Virgo"-missile is scratchbuilt from a 1/48 Sparrow and a 1/288 Booster of the Space Shuttle.     Cotton was used for the rocket smoke, which of course is not fully realistic - the original missile had a different appearence due to the temperatures and speeds, but it sure highlights the whole idea!   And the best shot as last!   HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
