ScanmanDan Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 The results of my quick build Fly Models 1/32 Ba-349 Natter. Nice kit which went together very well with no hassles at all. I chose to build it in flight without the rocket boosters so that I could build her very quickly, only two weekends from start to finish. Pilot is from a bf-109 kit and the nose rockets are from toothpicks Here are my results. My favourite pic Great fun other than loosing the great photo etched ring sight from the kit through my own stupidity I hope you like her and if you have a little cash and time this is a great kit with lots of potential. Oh, and yes, I know, no swastika and the nose rockets fired in one salvo but, hey, A guy's gotta have some fun. Dan 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark4700 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Very nice. Really nice job of the paintwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire31 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Impressive portrayal of that crazy idea! ;-) I feel sorry for the poor pilot. The brass plaque looks classy, too, but the hyphen is incorrect. The apellation is Ba 349. The Germans didn't use a hyphen but a space character between factory abbreviation and type number… Slick work! Kind regards, Joachim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 That looks very fine indeed, the pilot looks suitably unimpressed with his options for a safe landing. Duncan B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScanmanDan Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 A big thank you to all for responding, I'm glad you like this little beastie. Mark - Thanks! I love to paint, one of the reasons I try to simplify my builds these days is to get more painting in Joachim - Got it… No hyphen Good to know for my other builds. Duncan - You'd be unimpressed too if after strapping a possible fireball rocket to your back fuelled with fuel and oxidiser that will literally eat you alive you are launched vertically to above the US bombers. If that don't kill you, you are meant to attack a heavy bomber stream with like a gazillion 50cals all pointed at you. Then once you've fired your one salvo of unguided rockets you are to stall this flying brick, detach the nose cone/cockpit while deploying the tail sections parachute. Then kick yourself free and use your own parachute to land gently back on the ground. Piece of cake! Dem crazy Germans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
