Discover historical precision with the Bronco CB35050 German Rheinmetall Rheintochter R-2 anti-aircraft missiles and launcher model in 1/35 scale. This is a high-quality plastic assembly model that allows you to recreate a truly fascinating solution from the German arsenal of the final stage of World War II. The kit faithfully reproduces the heavy Rheintochter R-2 anti-aircraft missile and its distinctive launch platform, developed by the famous Rheinmetall-Borsig plants.

Historical Information

The Rheintochter R-2 was developed as part of Nazi Germany’s response to the increasing intensity of Allied bomber raids. Development work took place from 1942 to 1945, and the first test launch occurred in 1944. The missile was intended to engage aerial targets at medium altitudes. Due to technological delays, the Rheintochter R-2 never entered mass production nor was it used in combat, but it remains one of the most impressive examples of Germany’s experimental V-weapons. It is an outstanding example of advanced technological thought from the World War II period and a fascinating subject for advanced modelers and military history enthusiasts.
