Hi All,
Belcher Bits has just released a resin model kit of the proposed Vickers 725 "Red Rapier" Missile in 1/72 scale.
As the real missile never left the drawing board (as far as I know), I wonder if a mockup was built and if pictures and drawings of it and also the launch ramp are known to exist ?
A third scale model has been tested, but I don't have the Air Enthusiast issues related to it.
There is a color drawing of this missile in the "Secret Projects" book related to British Hypersonics and Missiles, but it is only an artist impression.
Does anyone has infos about this particular missile ?
Thanks for the help !
Best Regards,
XB-35
