NöNöBärs's What-If Flugwerft (WIP: Greenland Airforce TS-11 Qinngorneq)

[Father Ennis]

Just my 2¢ worth, but I think you should stretch the wings to give more space for the engines. They look too cramped,to me. Either that or just give it four jet engines.

I know, I am still not totally satisfied with adding the old engin pods. Still have not decided if I will finally add them or not.

I do seem to recall an image on the web somewhere for a 4 jumo-ed 262 - just try an 'image' search

[nönöbär]

I made some changes to the planned Ta-254:

- The old engine pods will be removed -> only the four jets under the wing
- As the engine pods hosted the landing gear, it will get a central line landing gear with small aux wheels on the wingtips (like the B-47 or Baade 152)
- No big-punch 3,7 mm guns, but maybe something different, have to see whats left in the spare parts box

Additional pods in the wingtips for the aux wheels, the final position of the engines is not fixed yet


Central wheel opening and prepared landing gear

Wow ! That is cool ! Love the look of that one....I want to pick it up and start flying it around !

Now that I finally got the missing colors, I could continue with the Ta-254.

The four jet engines are added to the wings:



With a night fighter camo, everything is painted in black first. Next will be some gray to the upper side.

[dumaniac]

just a suggestion - I use one part red with 2 parts black to make a dull black brown (it looks black until you put black on it) - then you can highlight with black on panel lines and ailerons - if you are into that sort of thing

it stops the black looking so plain

either way - black birds look great - i did a me 262 with extended wings and fuse in black - it looks really mean

[NARSES2]

That looks good

Thanks for the hint, I will test this for another model. For this one, its too late now as I continued with the paint job.

Interesting - looking forward to see more, esp. with the landing gear in place 

[nönöbär]

While the Ta-254 is still in the airbrush cabin, something else just got finished today:

A small Yak-15. This is a very simply (<20 parts) PM-Model kit which I still had on my stockpile. Played a bit with enhancing the cockpit, but is is not very visible on the photos.




This one was airbrushed with Revel Aqua Color and I tried to let it look a bit "used"

[nönöbär]

News from the Ta-254:




Light gray top and camo added. Now lets continue with correcting some airbrush outtakes and add the missing parts. Next will be the landing gear.

[NARSES2]

Nice little Yak

[PR19_Kit]

That Yak-15 is a surprisingly good little kit, but somewhat detail less of course. Yours looks darn good, especially the weathering. 

[nönöbär]

The TA-254 is now standing on its own legs ... wheels:




On the other side, a few more parts have been added:
- Landing gear (obviously)
- Some boosters for takeoff (even if there is no Kerbal inside....  )
- Two unguided air-to-air missiles



Still have to think about the nae, the Ta-154 had the nickname "Mosquito" (like the British nigh fighter), so I have to think about something similar for the Ta-254.
