The 5” HVAR (high velocity aircraft rocket) was developed in WWII, and was given the nickname “Holy Moses” after witnessing the destructive power of the weapon. My 5” HVAR replicas are constructed of 16 gage mild steel tubing for the rocket motor, with spot-welded fins. The shell is 16 gage mild steel, metal-spun to give it the solid ‘machined’ look. An aluminum nozzle plate with tapered orifices and cloth covered ignition wires for your canon plug, finish the tail, while the replica MK149 impact nose fuse, end cap clamps, pins and arming wire finish the rocket. Painted gray with OD green shell, stenciling and a set of suspension clamps, these replicas are as close as you can get to the real thing.
