Your mention of the Lance missile reminded me that one of the major model kit companies has produced two 1/35 scale models of the Lance: one is on a ground launched trailer and the other is mounted on the M-548/M-113 chassis that was the Lance prime mover and launcher. I will provide the name of the company via freepmail if you request it.

Yeah, the trailer was called “Launcher Zero Length” and was actually the launch fixture unbolted from the M-752 launcher with wheels bolted on. It was used for air-mobile operations which were sorta cool. Every year or so, we’d unbolt the thing and sling it under a Blackhawk or Chinook and lug it hundred miles or so to conduct training missions.
