NöNöBärs's What-If Flugwerft (WIP: Polish Airforce PZL-237 Duży łoś)

All the airbrushing has been done on the Zero, so even if its not finished yet, I guess its clear what this will be

Unfortunately I just saw that the decals I wanted to use do not work anymore, so I have to get some new ones. I hope they will arrive when everything else of this plane is done.

Nice, a German Zero is always an option - the Battle of Britain colors suit her well.

Besides... I wonder if a BMW engine could be grafted to the front, for a more 'domestic' look?

nönöbär · June 23, 2014, 09:45:28 AM

Well, there are no BMWs in my spare part box, so I stay with the original one.

Painting is now complete and the decals should arrive tomorrow, so here it is waiting for the last steps to do

Time to start something new.

This time, I use some stuff from the spare parts box. Most of this is from a Revell kit (I guess its obvious which one), and it's not really clear how this will end, but the only thing I know - no Luftwaffe aircraft this time....

So this is I use to start with:

After a short break, work continues on what was originally a Me 262.

Cockpit is added:

Wings are modified (but need some additional work)

Hi Nonobar

so where is your 262 headed - looks like a 2-seat with just one seat installed - maybe jazz music in the back ?

It will be a one seater. Looks as if the Revell kit is also used for the double seater, but there are no cabin or cockpit parts of it included.

Love the camo on the Zero !

It's simply too warm here in Germany right now, so building models is no fun with >30° at the workbench...

So only slow process and some parts are stick together to testing:

Some more putty&sanding work is in progress right now and some coolers are besides the plane.

Same problem in the U.K.

Well then, go outside & enjoy the Summer! Breath fresh air, soak up the sunshine & come back to your man-caves refreshed & revitalised!

Another small plane left the Flugwerft. This time its a quite special one (for me) - a Matchbox Hs 126. This kit was among the first that I build when I was a kid - so when I saw it on ebay again, I had to get it

Initially, I wanted to do a different camo on it, but due to some technical problems with the airbrush, I kept a plain sand color. So this one will be flying somewhere in North Africa I guess.

NARSES2 · July 23, 2014, 06:17:55 AM

Now that's a nice 126

Looks good in that nice simple scheme

Captain Canada · July 23, 2014, 11:22:09 AM

I like the guy playing air guitar with the giant wrench !

The 262 looks pretty wild. Really changes the look of that bird and I bet it would have been fast !

The 126 looks great too. A neat aeroplane and a good one to 'fly' around the house.

After a quite busy week, at least a bit progress on the "what was a Me 262 at some point".

Its now ready for airbrushing and waits until there is some free space in the airbrush cabin which is still blocked by a ship.

Some additional air coolers have been added and so lets see how this will look like with some paint on it.
