Dollar Rockets

I got several different army sets while at the dollar store the other day.

This set contains the same 45mm size figures and a pretty nice missile launcher. It is this missile I was after.

This is a TEL, transporter, erector, launcher. It carries the missile, moves it into firing position and then it holds it in place while it is fired.

Missiles can be a bit generic and this one will work for several scales. Here shown with a converted 1/72nd scale Revell soldier.

Now the missile has been hooked up to a Tim Mee 60mm Jeep. There is an MPC ring hand figure in the background. The 1950s were a period of great experimentation with rockets and missiles. Battlefield tactical missiles and longer range missiles were the order of the day.
