Yamamoto Model Parts YMP3521 X-7 Rotkapchen + Launching Rail 1/35

The Yamamoto Model Parts YMP3521 X-7 Rotkäppchen + Launching Rail 1/35 is a high-quality model kit designed for assembly in the popular 1/35 scale. The product is made from top-quality resin, ensuring faithfully reproduced details and the highest surface quality typical for Yamamoto Model Parts. The set includes the German-guided missile Ruhrstahl X-7 Rotkäppchen and a dedicated launching rail, allowing for an attractive display of the model both on its own and in World War II-era dioramas.

Ruhrstahl X-7 Rotkäppchen was the world’s first anti-tank guided missile, produced by Germany at the end of World War II, in 1944-1945. It was primarily intended to combat Allied tanks and armored vehicles. Although the X-7 never played any significant combat role—with only about 1,200 units produced—it remains a groundbreaking example of German military engineering and an interesting episode in the history of armaments from the final months of World War II.

The model excellently captures the characteristic appearance of the X-7: the slender fuselage, distinctive X-shaped fins, and a finely detailed shaped-charge warhead. The set also includes the launching rail—an element rarely seen in model kits, but essential for a complete presentation of this weapon system. The resin castings feature sharp edges and fine, realistic details that will satisfy even the most discerning model builders.
