Hey folks! So, I'm stuck trying to find some cool looking rockets, but how does this look so far? What would you change? Have any cool ideas for the rockets? Thanks for your feedback!

Look very nice. What will you use as rockets?

I went a different route and used missile tubes so I didn't have to answer the question

Looks nice, and easy to swap for a Deathstrike, if you went that way. Unfortunately I'm not much help with the missiles; I was going to suggest a V1/V2, but four V1's wouldn't fit, and there aren't many V2's around.

Aim-54 Phoenix missiles in 1/48 scale should work.
You can generally get bombs and missiles in this scale (and 1/72, 1/32, etc) in accessory packs from model companies (like Trumpeter, Italieri, Tamiya, etc).

Otherwise, spare hellstrike missiles from Valkyrie kits would also work.

It looks like the way I did my manticore, except that yours actually looks nice.

If you want to do things the way I did it, I'd actually suggest getting hunter-killer missiles. The old guard vehicle kit ones were dumb, but the new ones for guard are pretty cool looking. The only problem is that you have to get a lot of them.

As for bigger missiles, I don't know. Would it be possible to bitz-order some of the actual missiles?

The whole goal was to save money and scavenge and old basilisk hull, but I'll see what the missiles run. I'm trying to find some from other kits like chromedog suggested, too...
