Am I Wernher von Braun...? :coolio:

 

We are the very other rocket project, not one of these vanishing paperclips! :wicked: :fight:

 

While moving to Austria the Natter lost a wing. It got recovered and refittet to the fuselage. Some people blame a clumsy rocket scientist for sanding with too much pressure, but Naaah! :shrug: Our specialists are higly skilled people! :whistle: Working results so far:

Looks much better now! I've sanded the green lines somewhat down to achieve the look of a sloppy paintjob, done in a hurry. Next will be a clearcoat, then a wash for the paneel lines.

Added a light blue wash and a clearcoat and removed the masks:

Phew! Windows are ok! A bit of paint dust here and there, but no frosting or damages.

 

Time to add the small parts. The IP snapped off during masking, but was salvaged. There are some rudder vanes around the nozzle and some actuators too. Seatbelts still lacking. There are PE parts in the kit, but as often are aftermarket seatbelts much better. Have a set from MDC at hand.

 

Enjoy!
