Ex-Soviet 2P19 Launcher W/R-17 Missile (Ss-1C Scud B) 1/35 Kit

Description Ex-Soviet 2P19 Launcher w/R-17 Missile (SS-1C SCUD B) 1:35 Kit Scud is a series of tactical ballistic missiles developed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was exported widely to both Second and Third World countries. The term comes from the NATO reporting name “Scud” which was attached to the missile by Western intelligence agencies. The Russian names for the missile are the R-11 (the first version), R-17 (later R-300) Elbrus (later developments). The name Scud has been widely used to refer to these missiles and the wide variety of derivative variants developed in other countries based on the Soviet design. The R-17 was an improved version of the R-11. It could carry nuclear, chemical, conventional or fragmentation weapons. At first, the Scud-B was carried on a tracked transporter erector launcher similar to that of the Scud-A, designated 2P19. credit: Wikipedia Plastic model assembly kit, requires paint and glue.
