You’re right granch, the Thomas Gunn Miniatures Natter model is a bit too small. It is probably closer to 1/32 or 1/35 as opposed to 1/30 scale. Not sure why or how they got it so off - I have a couple of their premium 1/30 wooden model aircraft and their V-1 Reichenberg model and those are correctly scaled.granch wrote:Nice model in the diorama... just about the scale, when you look at normandy's first pic, a man is about 3/4 of the length between wing and nose.

Re: Bachem Natter in 1.18
Very cool and the Natter looks like it’s coming along nicely!
I just got this awesome idea of building one of these so it could mount one of those model rocket engines... If the model is balanced and stable enough, it could be launched and the little charge could blow out the cockpit section and a parachute, allowing it to float back to the ground... Almost like the real thing

Re: Bachem Natter in 1.18
So
- Normandy
- TMANTHEGREAT and
- PVANROY
are on board. we need 2 more. Better 3 or 4.
Maybe you interested guys can do some propaganda for the Natter in other Model builder forums. Lukas and I would really appreciate this.
Payment should be done with the half of the amount as a deposit. But only when Lukas starts the second production run.
I´ll keep you oinformed
Let me know if some advertising is possible.

That looks absolutely beautiful, Crazy Kraut
I need to get started on my kit and hope it comes out looking half as good. What did you use for the decals?

Re: Bachem Natter in 1.18
Outstanding!! Wonderful looking model and a very nice paint scheme.
As Autumn sets in and winter not far behind, I'll be getting back to my
1:18 projects...Natter is first.

Re: Bachem Natter in 1.18
I’m familiar with Peddinghaus having gotten some sets off eBay... I know they have 1/32 scale aircraft decals, but do they do custom work like the larger decals for a 1/18 or other large scale model? ThanksCrazy Kraut wrote:Decals are made by peddinghaus decals in germany

Re: Bachem Natter in 1.18
Yes they do custom decals for the 1:18 scale. You just need to ask them about. In ebay they are offering some custom sheets for detailing Me109, 262 and Fw190.
