Steam Crazy:
"The V2 is 1/72 scale because a 1/48 model would be over two feet long!" I respectfully disagree with this assertion. The V2 rocket's total length was almost 46 feet. This is exclusive of launch pad (Brennstand) and/or transport dolly (Meillerwagen). This means it would be a little less than an actual foot long rendered in 1/48 scale. I have a 1/48 scale V2 without launch pad or dolly and it fits quite nicely on a 50' Weaver flat car.
