A truly insane idea! Congrats on another great image :)
As always very nice. Suggestion. Is there anyway you can incorporate some sort of history of the aircraft you show in your pictures?
Love your work
Interesting presentation!
is this the one where the test pilot was dissolved by his own fuel? Great work and detail.
Great work
I like the extra detail on the launch mode . I recall photos showing the nose cone replaced by a battery of unguided rockets intended for single pass use on daytime bomber formations.
piloted by either a suicide jockey, or a 12 year old from the Hitler Youth... either way a dark design for air history.. stellar image!
Cool render.. the additional launch gantry detail is much appreciated!!!
I've seen video of these launching and crashing. Excellent render.
Thanks for including the launch tower. Dana
Scary looking this. Cool presentation.
Even for the Nazis, this was insane: "The desparate concept behind the Bachem Natter (hummingbird) was that young pilots with little or no training would be launched vertically at US bomber formations and blow them apart with a powerful battery of rockets. With no method of landing, the pilot would then bail out, he and the rocket motor descending by parachute for further use (if either could be found again)." - from "The World's Worst Aircraf" by Jim Winchester. Great rendering, by the way.
Mm! Maybe flying a seaplane is not such a bad idea after all!
Given an experienced pilot and about 10 years research, this may have caused major damage in the bomber streams but! As it was meant to be piloted by Hitler Youth with no or very little training, and it had very little development time it was doomed to fail..... Another wonderful 3-way! (plus!) Rob
excellent render, as always!
