Being a wingy-thingy I do not know a lot about armor. Researching the German V-2 for a diorama that I want to build I have found a couple of photos of what they used as a launch van. Unfortunately, it does not show a lot of the vehicle as it is a shot from the rear. The half track they use looks a lot like the Hanomag Sdkfz 251/1 reinforced to work near the launched missiles. If that is true I can kitbash the Tamiya kit to be what I want. Any help you can provide in the line of pictures will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
