Doing some research and this is right. The frame pivoted and was raised and lowered by a linkage to the mantle of the gun. They could go from 90 to 3000 yards but accuracy was limited. Also for short range the warhead usually did not explode.This will be a great kit. I've been wanting to do one in 1/72 scale myself.
One thing I learned from someone in Britain who's father crewed one of these: the box art (and possibly the instructions too) is wrong The rocket launch rails need to be mounted at a 35 degree angle. He said those rockets were badly underpowered as they were designed to be shot from a fast moving aircraft which would accelerate the speed and range of them. On a vehicle, they needed to be lobbed to get any kind of decent range from them, otherwise they would land 30 feet in front of the vehicle.
I hope this helps.
