The Bronco Models 1/35 Rheinmetall 'Rheintochter' R-2 Anti-Aircraft Missiles and Launcher (CB35050) is a highly detailed plastic model kit from Bronco Models, a Hong Kong–based manufacturer renowned for exceptional historical accuracy and fine surface detail.
The Rheintochter (Rhine Daughter) was a German surface-to-air guided missile developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig during World War II. The R-2 was an improved two-stage variant, designed to intercept Allied bombers at high altitude. Although promising, the programme was cancelled in early 1945 before operational deployment due to shifting priorities. Along with the Wasserfall and Schmetterling, the Rheintochter represents Germany's pioneering work in guided missile technology during WWII.
