The 1:35 Trumpeter 00206 J27 SA-2 Guideline Missile with Launcher is an impressive plastic model kit of a Soviet surface-to-air missile with a strong Cold War presence. This scale model brings the V-75 Dvina, designated SA-2 Guideline by NATO, to life as a striking military subject for fans of air defence systems, missile launchers, Soviet technology and historic model building.

Development of the V-75 Dvina air defence missile system began in 1953 as a medium to high SAM system intended for use against non-manoeuvring targets such as bombers. The system became operational in 1957 when the PVO-Strany formed SA-2 missile regiments with three six rail launcher battalions. With its two-stage missile layout, large jettisonable solid propellant booster, distinctive fins and recognisable launcher, this Trumpeter model is a powerful subject for your display case or military diorama.
