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

[nönöbär]

Next color has been added, so the general paint scheme is done now.

Before adding gear, drop tanks and missiles, the radar nose and metal finish at the engines must be done:

That looks bonza.   
Demarkation between white and a darker colour is always harder to do but that is very crisp and straight.  Good job.

[NARSES2]

I have to agree with Mr Zenrat, very, very neat 

[TheChronicOne]

Niiiiiice!  Looking quite glorious in them colors.

Next steps for the F4, it's now standing on its own wheels, radar nose and bare metal parts at the tail painted:

Hadnt considered the Toom in that Marine fleiger scheme. I like it 
An idea I may "borrow" at some point 

[nönöbär]

Almost everything has been added to the F4 now, tanks (a lot of them), missiles, landing gear.
Now i have to see if i have some decals for it somewhere in the box.

While the Phantom is waiting for its final decals, another little bird left NöNö Bärs Flugwerft - A Flettner FL-282 Helicopter.

One of the first operational helicopters build, it first flew in October 1941. Until the end of the war 20-30 of those little helicopters were build. Especially the Navy was interested in the helicopter and in 1942, experiments of ship-based operations were tested on the "Greif".

The model is a 1/72 Huma kit and one of those Huma models where you want to bite in your desk as the quality of the parts are not very good. It does not fit very well, and sometimes its hard to identify the part at all among all the clutter in the injection-moulded frame.

Some pics of the build model:

You've made a good job of that. 

I've got that same Huma kit, and it frightened me so much when I opened the box that's it's been stashed in The Loft for over 15 years! 

[KiwiZac]

Fantastic! Although I'm hanging out for a copy of the 1/48 kit - I'm not as brave as you!

[NARSES2]

I eventually sold my copy of that kit on as I just didn't fancy even trying to get it together.

You've done a great job

Well, when I saw the kit, I was first a bit "shocked" if i really should try it. At that point I did not see how bad the parts fit together, but one could have guessed it.
Afaik, this is the only 1/72 kit of this little thing, so I had to make it.

I also have the Fa-223 kit from huma here, and I fear this one will also be quite a challange.

I've not seen a built example of the Fa-223 (at least I can't remember having) but I'm sure you can do a good job.

I quite like Huma kits I must admit. Enjoyed the ones I've built even though they've taken some effort.

[zenrat]

Cool.  It'a giving me ideas regarding a pair of Hueys and a FW 189...

[TheChronicOne]

Nicely done!!! Took me a minute to figure out what was going on with the rotary wings...   then I realized they're two separate bits!   For all the quirky aspects of the build, you handled it well and made a really cool model.
