Does anyone have dimensions of the Wurfrahmen 40 transport crate

[ThomasLund]

Headline kinda says it all… I need dimensions as I am scratchbuilding some…

TIA

This probably isn’t what you’re after but they already exist in 1:35 - assuming it’s 1:35 you want:

Tamiya do one as well:

Whether or not these are Wurfrahmen 40 I have no idea - I’m no German rocket Ninja I’m afraid.

I’d forgotten Miniart’s effort:

Now I wanna see what a German Rocket Ninja looks like!

[ThomasLund]

Thanks Brian, but it’s 1/16 for the Trumpeter Sdkfz 251

I know there is a set for it, but I find it too expensive for such a simple installation, so I’ve designed it myself in 3D and have printed it. The transport crate I will do in balsa wood to get the wood look and to avoid doing that (the wood look) in 3D. I have some rudimentary dimensions from a Dragon 1/35 kit, but I was thinking if I could get the right measurements it would be better

[ThomasLund]

Me too Chepster - perhaps he looks like a Me163 pilot ?

[ThomasLund]

To clarify - it’s the wooden box that the two Tamiya guys are man-handling

Hi Thomas,
I don´t know if this helps, but a photographed a replica of the Wurfrahmen 40 at the Pionierlehrsammlung Ingolstadt.

[BootsDMS]

It does sound somewhat strange/inspirational now you mention it(!)

[BootsDMS]

Fair enough Tomas - good luck with it all.

[ThomasLund]

Thanks Hermann, but looking at the real deal, I think that replica is quite a bit off - I guess they wanted to show the missile more than the box

[BootsDMS]

Apparently like this?

[BootsDMS]

Actually, this one’s perhaps a little better!

Sir do you do 3D printing for hire???

[ThomasLund]

Too much of an amateur for that I’m afraid

[Alvaro_Brasesco]

When I get home, I’ll take some measurements of the miniart kit, and the dragon one in 1/35
you can scale it.

[Chepster]

With the phrase “WW2 German Rocket ninja” apparently this according to Bing AI image generator

I’m not sure he’d have much luck staying on that at full speed

Sorry for diverting from your question. Really look forward to seeing your progress with this project.

Hello Thomas, I am under the impression that there may be more than one rocket crate. The DML model shows a metal frame and not a wood frame. Do you plan to build the 28cm or 32 cm version?

[ThomasLund]

Yes, but I’ve never seen the metal one used on a Stuka zu Fuss…

The difference between the 28 and 32cm rockets were inserts in the box. Outside dimensions were the same to make them fit the common holder

There was a sequel to the James Cavill novel “Shogun” Its was called Gertrudesgun.
