Ballistic Missile diagram edit

Original - The V-2 rocket was the first ballistic missile and first man-made object to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight, the progenitor of all modern rockets including the Saturn V moon rocket. Over 3,000 V-2s were launched as military rockets by the German Wehrmacht against Allied targets in World War II, resulting in the death of 7,250, military personnel and civilians.

Reason: An .svg diagram of the V-2 Ballistic Missile which clearly labels each part of the missile. I think this image meets the FPC criteria, and definietly adds to the encyclopedia, and thus I am nominating the image for FPC status.

Support - good picture, good EV in articles used, especially since it shows the inside of a rocket. Intothewoods29 (talk) 21:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. A fine diagram.--ragesoss (talk) 19:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good diagram and needs the support. Diagrams do find it a lot harder to pass here as it is harder to find 'wow' in them, I suppose. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 19:52, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
