The problem is with the show that things rarely match, on the set it looks like the launch rail has guifers along it that match the the indentations on the belly of the Viper, while in the VFX sequence the viper is on a separate trolley that runs on top of the rail.

How long is the launch tube anyway?
good question .... I will look at that based on the models I have... I think Punisher has done some work on this in the past.
