Why this kit matters
The V-2 rocket, developed by Germany during the Second World War, was the first long-range guided ballistic missile ever used in combat. Designed under the direction of Wernher von Braun, it represented a major technological step in rocketry, reaching the edge of space before descending onto its target. Its development marked the beginning of modern missile and space technology.
Despite its historical significance in engineering, the V-2 programme was also tied to wartime destruction and forced labour. After the war, the technology and expertise behind the V-2 were taken by both the United States and the Soviet Union, forming the foundation for future space exploration efforts. This model allows builders to explore an important chapter in both military and scientific history.
