Thanks!

A VERY cool subject! Thanks to Revell for rereleasing this one.
Too bad about the scale (1/54 ??). More civilian vehicles like this Kenworth(?) in 1/35 would be AWESOME.
I was indeed thinking about an Honest John launcher for the Art of Battle campaign (Artillery and indirect-firing weapons), but that would have to be almost entirely scratchbuilt, so probably not going to happen.
Can I assume that Revell would follow this carrier release with a launcher sometime later?
thanks Andy for posting this,

This is good news. I've always heard that this kit was 1/48, though. Revell had a couple different sets like this back in the 1960s

Sean, I wouldn't expect a launcher for this kit. If i remember correctly, these little Kenworth kits were actually designed for O-Gauge railroad sets.

This kit was first released in about 1958, so as James said it is extremely unlikely they will release any other bits and bobs for it.
Revell are going through a phase of re-releasing their classic kits.
The Corporal Missile system has already been reviewed by Rowan Baylis over on Modelgeek.
