Special Hobby JB-2 Loon US V-1 Missile 1/32 Kit

Build the American JB-2 Loon with this 1/32 scale kit from Special Hobby. Based on the German V-1 missile, the JB-2 was developed for planned use against Japan during the Second World War. The end of the war following the use of atomic bombs meant that this intended deployment did not take place.

The JB-2 nevertheless entered American service and was accepted by the US Army, United States Army Air Forces and US Navy. It remained in use until the mid-1950s, giving the subject relevance to both late-WWII and early post-war collections.

Multi-Material Model Kit

The kit’s main components are supplied across three styrene sprues. A fret of etched parts and a selection of 3D-printed components complement the styrene pieces, giving modellers a varied construction project that combines three different production formats in one box.

Presented in 1/32 scale, the JB-2 Loon makes a distinctive standalone subject. It can also provide an American counterpart to a German V-1 within a display exploring the development and post-war use of this missile design.

Four US Marking Options

The decal sheet covers four American JB-2 missiles and provides a useful choice of finishes. Three of the marking options feature an Olive Green scheme, while the fourth represents a missile finished overall in white. These alternatives allow the builder to select between the operational-looking green finish and the contrasting white presentation.

Each option retains the kit’s clear American identity while offering scope to choose the scheme that best suits an existing collection or individual display. The combination of colour choices and supplied decals adds a welcome variety of finishes to this focused missile project.
