WWII 5" Rockets?
Does anyone have pics or specs on the 5" rockets that were used in WWII? I am going to make some to put on a Nosen P-47 and would like for them to be accurate. The only thing I can find are black and white photos like the one attached here.
Thanks,

The pictures you have above are Holy Moses HVAR's.
The actual dimensions are: 5' 7.5" long x 5" diameter with a 1' 3.625" wing span

Here's the website that makes full-size reproductions of different munitions:

Lots of good pics there.
