SPA Modeler

Since the Mustang is done and the Mitsubishi is nearing the finish line I started two new builds. First the Brengun 1/72 Bachem Natter, it fits nicely within my interest for rocket propelled aircraft.
This is Brengun's first model with short run tooling. They have retooled it with steel molds so watch which boxing you buy if you don't like short run. On the other hand, it is a good and modern short run kit. There is some flash but the test fit shows no big problems.
Since the canopy of the Natter is tiny I am not going to spend a lot of time on the cockpit.

Sweet!!! I've always liked this aircraft!!! Looking forward to the build. BTW....how detailed is the pit anyways?

Should be an interesting build Borg.

The cockpit is basic but sufficient for a closed canopy.

Cool! The subjects of these new projects are both unfamiliar to me, so I am excited to see how these will take shape. Best of luck!

I painted the cockpit and closed the fuselage. Fit was surprisingly good.

Most construction work has been done. The canopy is last an will need some work to fit properly.

nice to see this littel bird.

have seen a replica in a museum

Thanks for the reference Cherrylock!

Very cool. Is it plastic or resin?
