Neat, what kit?  Even in 1/48 it must be smallish.

Cockpit work looks good  :thumbsup:

I've always had a strange fascination for the Natter, no idea why, but ever since I first read about it back in the day.

It is a facinating a/c, isn't it?

I'm posting pics of the pit shortly.

Here they are!

The kit's pit is rather bare but so was the real thing. Except for a few scratched details it's OOB. I tried the new Steelbelts from Eduard and I'm quite happy with the product.

good model building :thumbsup:
is it what-if as "never entered service" or as transformed with personal changes? :unsure:
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Thanks, Tophe! It's the former.  ;)

If ever there was an aircraft that deserved longer wings...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Hehehe, dead right there!  :thumbsup: ;D

I've got a Heller 1/72 scale one, maybe I'll graft some sailplane wings onto it?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Very neat work  :thumbsup:

I'm just imagining the marks those seat belts would leave on the pilot during take off  :unsure:

It's only manned flight was on my birthday, maybe that's why it's always had a fascination for me ?

Often thought of a Japanese version. Allegedly the German's did send the Japanese the full plans, but the submarine carrying them was sunk en route.

Before or after the actual event? :angel:
