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

[McColm]

Good builds.
Given me a few ideas.

The Marineflieger Camo is now added and the plane is standing on its wheels:

What colors did you use on the Crusader (for RAL 7012 and 7035)? Looks great so far   - there's a profile of such an aircraft around in the WWW that tempted me to try something similar:



But I eventually ended up with a Super Étendard in more modern wrap-around cammo.

Like this one here, too...

Yes, this is how it should look like (more or less). Maybe with a bit more colorful tail, but I am still not sure if this would fir to a Marineflieger plane.
Regarding the colors, I use Revell Aqua Color, so I use Bluegray (79) for the upper part and White (5) for the lower one.

Oh yes, this one is also sitting around here and waiting to be  build as part of my "Graf Zeppelin Air Wing" Series.

Thank you - that makes sense with what I saw in the picture, as Revell 79 is rather bluish. 77 would be "correct", but depending on light and weathering those old school Marineflieger aircraft look that way, esp. the Tornados. Did one in a very similar fashion years ago - more elegant than RAL 7012, anyway.

That Buccaneer looks good

[Captain Canada]

Your Crusader is looking awesome ! Nice to see an update.

While the F-8 is waiting to be continued, something else left Nönö Bärs Fluggwerft recently. At least, its half a What-if: A Messerschmitt Me 109T.

This was the projects carrier version of the Me 109E with enlarged wingspan, tail hook and additional equipment (life raft etc.).

About 40 of those planes were build in real life, and as they were never used on board of the GZ, they operated at the North Sea coast and in Norway.

In the What-If world, they were on board of the GZ when it was commissioned in mid 1942 (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,37705.0.html) until they were replaced by the edn of 1943.

The model is a Toga kit which was ok to build. The selected color scheme is the one that was given in the instructions and is similar to schemes that were used during the BoB.

Together with a Me 109E (which was build >20 years ago). You can see the bigger wingspan of the Me 109T here.

Nice  109 T, you really do see the extended wings in that picture

[Captain Canada]

Nice work ! I love naval a/c. The GZ is always a neat whif....a real 'I wonder.....' type.

The collection looks good as well. One of them just doesn't fit in tho

I wonder which one does not fit....

More progress on the F-8, wing has been added and most of the payload is now read (but not added).
Sadly the front wheel has broke off. I hope that the fix will work as the plane is quite nose-heavy (I added too much wight to the nose)

[Captain Canada]

Really looking the part now !

[nönöbär]

While I am still fighting with the broken nose landing gear of the F8 (any good ides how to fix that?  ), something else left the Flugwerft.

The most horrible kit I have build so far.... The Roden He 111 

I had read reports in the web that this model does fit very bad, and yes, it was true. For example, if you try to put the landing gear box in the wings you will see that this thin is simply too high. More than 5mm. So you cannot put the wing together. And the same for the hull itself. Adding the interior, you have no chance to pub both sides together, the parts simply do not fit. So try to avoid this kit, I guess the bomber versions are the same bad quality.

Anyway, even if it was close that this place flew out of the window, it finally got completed and is now part of the Lufthansa 1930s collection:

About the plane: This is the civilian version of the He 111. 12 of them were ordered by the Lufthansa, but only six of them got into service in 1936.

Nice Lufthansa collection
