(1:144) EMW C2 Wasserfall W-5

With the increasing Allied bombing of Germany, new methods were needed to bring down the enemy bombers. The methods currently used (antiaircraft guns and fighter aircraft) were somewhat effective, but costly in ammunition and fuel expended, lost pilots and airframes. Thus, the guided antiaircraft (or FLAK) rocket was envisioned. One of these, perhaps the most ambitious, was the Wasserfall (Waterfall), developed at Peenemünde.
