Thanks speedgraflex! Here are the boosters!speedgraflex wrote:All the best to you, M! Looking forward to your updates!
After assembly the round front part was cut and sanded flat as can been seen on some of the Natter photos, the main reason being to make it easier to apply the decals in that area.
Then painting and weathering as usual.
Final assembly!
Next: the base!

Now that is looking complete with the boosters on.

Thanks to all for the nice words!
I'm working on the pole, making it look like wood with an intrersting techique I just learned about. Pics soon!

Re: Ba 349 Natter 1/48 DML
I started work on the launcher with the pole.
First a base coat of Gunze H66 Sandy Brown was applied. Then for the wood effect, Vandyke Brown oil paint was applied straight from the tube, no thinning, and then smeared and partially removed with a dry, clean soft brush.
To add variation, after 24 hours of drying time, more oil paint was removed with a cotton bud moistened with white spirit. Then the airbrush was used to lighten some areas with highly thinned base coat color. Similarly Tamiya Smoke mixed with Gunze Black was used to add some dark patches.
A coat of Future was applied to protect the work done so far and an oil wash (Vandyke Brown + Black) was then applied, which worked well with the kit’s engraved wood veins texture.
A coat of Vallejo flat clear was followed by dry-brushing with Vallejo Medium Sea Grey.
The hooked spikes were painted with Vallejo Natural Steel followed by a black oil wash to dull the metallic shine.
In a slightly different lighting:
I'm quite satisfied with the result. Hope you like it too!
