The MGM-5 Corporal produced in the USA was a ground-to-ground short range missile that could be equipped with a nuclear warhead. With this or alternative warheads the weapon could attack targets at a distance of up to 140 km. In the event of a war in Europe the Corporal was to be used as a tactical nuclear weapon. The first artillery battalion with Corporal missiles was set up back in 1955 (6 of the 12 Armerican battalions were stationed in Europe). This historic Revell moel shows a detailed reproduction of this rocket with launcher and 3 ground staff figures.
