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

[PALG]

OMG, that Luftwaffe Phantom.  Is that the 1:32 ?  Its a little hard to tell.  But it sends me on a time trip to about 1980 when i asked for and received a 'big' model for Christmas, opened the box and my 8 or 9 yr old brain ground to a halt.  It was that kit. Thankfully my father built and painted it and it looked...exactly like that.  it hung above my bed for years nearby the 1:32 Bf-109 he made made in his late teens in the 50s (which I have still, wrapped in tissue paper; best model i have ever seen.)  I had the Phantom model for quite a  long time and it was a seriously good kit; solid, fitted and held together very well.

None of which relates to your project - sorry. but modelling websites occassionally cause attacks like this when one sees others' old kits. 

I completely fell for the Steckmucke - just awesome.

The Phantom is in 1/72 and the box of this model was from the 1980s. Don't know how old this kit actually is, but I was surprised that it fitted quite good, so there was not so much putty and sanding required.

The Panther is now painted. A glossy finish is sprayed on it in preparation of adding the decals. Which I am searching now for.

[nönöbär]

Now that the Panther is finished, lets start something new.
This time, a "Make one out of two", where I will use the following kits:



The B-47 is from Academy, the B-29 from Minicraft, both in 1:144.

And the result will be a bomber - at least I hope so.

Six burning and four turning? 

[nönöbär]

Six burning and four turning? 

Well, definitely four burning. and if I get it right, two others burning and turning....

For a start, the nose of the former B-47 hull is cut off. And the one of the B29 as well.



So, both have to be combined...

This si starting to Look Cool. why do i get the Feeling this Could be a 'GA' Project coming up? Hope to see more from You. Dan

A little progress: The cockpit section is now attached to the rest of the fuselage. I first wanted to add it directly to the rest of the aircraft, but this way, the shape of the plane looks "better". Still looks a bit "open", but the gap will be closed next

[nönöbär]

The "gap" is now covered with some paper.



 I first wanted to fill it up completely with putty, but I think its better to add a layer of thin plastic sheets first, otherwise the putty layer would be too thick.

Agree with you, it's best to have the plastic sheet 

[Captain Canada]

This is looking so cool ! Great stuff so far !

[nönöbär]

So, I added some plastic stripes to it that is about to have the right diameter.



And I hear someone shouting "putty and sanding " now - I fear there is no way around this.

[Cobra]

Agree with Captain Canada Have You got a Name for Your Awesome looking Bomber Yet? Would You be Willing to consider Names? Keep up the Superb Work Dan

[nönöbär]

Regarding the name, I already have an idea for it. Actually I think it will be a "Me 247".

I now added putty and a lot of sanding & correcting is done right now

[nighthunter]

Just an FYI, Boeing had a passenger Liner called the 247, so, how about Me-347?
