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

[Captain Canada]

Smells right to me ! lol

[nönöbär]

As its carnival time here in Cologne right now, I guess I have to close NöNö Bärs Flugwerft until next week. All the staff - including my engineer - is away to party. Hope the little bear will not drink too much beer and gets sone strange ideas for new models 

[nönöbär]

While the Mitsubishi is in its final stage of production, another plane leaves NöNö Bärs Flugwerft:

A Gotha Go 244. Developed form the Gotha Go 242 glider, the Go 244 was equipped with two 740hp Gnôme-Rhône-engines - and it was quite a failure. The engines were barley able to keep the empty plane in the air, not very useful for a transport aircraft. Therefore most of the 230+ planes build were "refitted" as gilders again.

I always wanted to build a twin-boom plane, and as the Gotha is quite small compared to other aircraft with this layout, I choose this one.





The model is a 17/2 Italieri kit build OOB and airbrushed with Revel Aqua Colors.

I like the look of that, excellent work there. 

I didn't even know Italeri did that kit, or anyone else for that matter. Hmmm, how about re-engining one with DB 601s?

[Captain Canada]

Beauty. Love the colours. Very well done...nice and clean !

[Librarian]

A beautiful job and very nice looking plane. Got my eye on that fuselage.... .

[DogfighterZen]

Very nice work indeed!! 

[nönöbär]

Thanks!

Sadly, I made an error building the model, and now the rear cargo door cannot be opened correctly. You can open it, but then it does not hold in open position. Have to see if this can be fixed.

[zenrat]

Cool.

[NARSES2]

That looks really good, particularly like the colour scheme

[Dizzyfugu]

Looks so clean...!

[nönöbär]

After a break, a (non WhatIf) leaves the Flugwerft:

A Czech MiG 19. This is another KP models Kit, quite basic and from the instructions so can see its age. Build OOB, the decals are not the best anymore.





The little - and growing - Mig collection:





Now that the Flugwerft is empty again,  the next What-If is about to start soon.

[PR19_Kit]

I've got a couple of those KP Mig 19s.

Amazingly all the myriad intakes you can see on nönöbär's model are separate parts and need to be glued in position as the build progresses! 

[Dizzyfugu]

Yes, EVERY air scoop is a separate piece. But it's a "honest" solution, the kit is actually pretty good, despite the raised panels and rivets.

[zenrat]

Nice.  So thats 15, 17 & 19?  A 21 next?
