Tiny Tim Rocket with trailer Scale 1:48 Metallic Details MDR4832

Metallic Details MDR4832 is a mixed-media Detail Set with resin and photo-etched parts for building one Tiny Tim rocket and one trailer in 1/48.

The set is designed as a small standalone scene element: the trailer provides ground handling context, while the rocket body includes resin and photo-etched details where applicable (exact breakdown follows the included parts).

Tiny Tim was an air-to-ground rocket design from the mid-1940s period. In modeling terms, it can be used as an ordnance and support-equipment accessory that may be displayed on its own or used as a technical focus point in an airfield-style display.

For modelers: plan alignment early—build the trailer frame first and keep it square on a flat surface. Dry-fit the rocket to its supports before glue, then paint main subassemblies separately (rocket body vs. trailer) and combine them after clear coats to reduce handling marks.
