Before I can go on with other projects like the Spruce Goose I want to finish my first kit in 2018. It will be the Natter (Viper) which was started last month.
After painting with Gunze colors RLM 76/82/83 I decaled her with decals from my scrap-box. The little bubblebee was modified with exhaust-rocket-fire as noseart. I thought using my self-made turtle decal of my own draft, but then I thought the bubblebee was a better match.
Now very close to finish.

So that will be a What-if.

Bumblebee looks lovely if it is possible to use that expression to describe an aircraft... lovely and amazingly realistic. I have missed your speculation builds, Marius, so I am glad to see this one is now part of your oeuvre today! Excellent work with the canopy glazing. My favorite element is the red band the bumblebee wears. I like that a lot! Does that indicate a replaceable element — a fuel stage area?

Another super build sir! “What If’s?” of prototype weapons are always fun!

Thanks to both.
Bruce, the red line seperates the tail section. After a Mission the goal was to split this aircraft in three parts and let those glide back to ground with parachutes.

Does that make ans sense?

Bruce, thanks. I am still out there....LOL
Everything allright but very busy in job. I am close to SOP with my project and customer is a pain in my neck.
I moved on with my MiG-28. I wanna try the pencil solution to generate panel lines. U know, you had shown examples of a master. Therefore the Matchbox F-5 base got a lot of modifications.

Marius!

Glad you’re all right, kind of, sort of, I understand how clients make or make a project miserable or a smashing success. Usually it is the opposite of “Trouble at the beginning, s**t at the end;” a troubled start will lead to great insight. I miss your innovation very much.
