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

[nönöbär]

Returning form vacation, work continues on the Focke Wulf jet bomber.

You see the age of the kit I use - fit quality is quite bad, so a lot of putty is used. Wings are only put together right now, they will be glues together after painting. The model is now ready to get its first colors:

Good!

Good luck

Regarding the 262 with props, the Germans did have a turboprop jet on the books. Only one engine was ready by war's end. However if you were to mount the main engine above the wing (same as the turbo props in eastern Australia that service regional areas), there is plenty of clearance. Despite all that, your model does look beautiful and has great lines. I look forward to the camo job. Good luck.

That's looking good. I also have one of the 1:100 Vautours in the stash, it's intimidating... But I had a similar idea for it: an 1:72 German WWII singe-seat fighter.

I had completed it a while ago, but as this one is a prototype, it has no real camo on it. However, here it is: https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48069.0

As I like some bombs at it, i guess mine will more a fighter bomber or ground attack aircraft.

This kit is so old, it has some markings on wings and hull where the original decals should be placed, like on some of the 1950s Revell kits. I assume this kit is also from the 1950s or early 60s.

Have a good vacation ?

I like the idea of it being a ground attack aircraft

[nönöbär]

Finally, I could continue to work on the FW attack plane.

Painting has started and a few small parts were 3D printed. Now everything waits to be put together.

[Tophe]

Even better than expected...

[Rick Lowe]

Looks good. 

[nönöbär]

Finally, all the "big" things have been put together.



I am now doing some tests for the armament, i.e. bomb load, not so sure if I should out the main bombs between the engines and the fuselage, or outside of the engines. Between engines and fuselage would be better regarding bomb weight, but i fear the gap it too narrow.

[zenrat]

If you move the stabilisers to the wingtips then you could use the fuselage bays under the engines as bomb-bays.

Yes, thought about it as well, but the big bombs are too big for that..... So i will go for an external bomb load, as it was mostly used on German planes.
