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

[nönöbär]

The Me 247 now almost looks like a plane now: Turboprops and jet endings are added, camo paint is mostly done. The four gun turrets are added as well.
Some smaller parts have to be fixed where some paint was removed when I removed the masking tape.
The color scheme is a typical German WW2 bomber style with two green colors on the top and a light blue on the lower side.





Landing gear and gear doors are next.

The landing gear has now been added to the Me 247 bomber:



I am now working on the small aux gears mounted below the jet engines now. The nose is still missing and I am waiting for the decals to arrive here.

That is looking awesome !

After the Me-247 something more modern is about to start:



This time, it will be a "What-If" color scheme, as the F-8 fits quite nice to the Graf Zeppelin carrier.
So here is what there is so far:



First time to try to pimp the cockpit a bit:

Marine Crusader, not a bad choice considering you've done the A-7 in almost the same scheme.

The Air Guard used to fly those things over our house in Tulsa all the time. They flew so low that they rattled the house !!!  Over and over again ...   Their planes were done in NATO 3-tone with gray undersides. Much as I hated them flying over I always liked the look of the camo over the lack luster Navy scheme. Just a suggestion ...

Ennis, the USAF never operated the F-8, the flew the A-7, lol.

[Father Ennis]

From the ground they look the same ...   And they both make too much noise !!!   LOL!!!

[Captain Canada]

Nice start ! Love the Crusader and she's going to look awesome !

PS- I think I had built a German Crusader years ago...but it was that awful Fujimi kit that almost kinda sorta looked almost like a Crusader...kinda.

Too much work in the office right now, not much time for model building. Therefore only slow progress with the F-8:



The main hull is put together and ready for paint now

Too much work in the office right now, not much tim for model building. Therefore only slow progress with the F-8:

Do I remember that, glad I retired early

[nönöbär]

Progress for the F-8 is still very slow, but at least the first paint is now added:



Upper side will be next

[Captain Canada]

Looking good ! Love the Crusader....this is gonna be awesome !
