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?

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.
