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

[Scotaidh]

Not so much to complain about this kit this time, but it was mostly painting.

So the main paint work has been done:

Is it just me, or does it look as if you're planning to put a nose-inlet on that aircraft?  You know - make it "Lightning-esque" - radar cone in the middle of the inlet.

No, the nose will be pretty normal for an F16 and the air intake below the cockpit. I just did not add it so far as it is painted in a different colour and I wanted to prevent to break the it during contruction. I managed to break those tiny winglets beside the cockpit at least 10 times now.....

I feel your pain at those breakages ... Big banana fingers, here, so I break stuff all the time.    

BTW, congrats on pushing through the fit issues.  I know you were pretty discouraged at one point - way to keep at it! 

I don't usually care for the F-16 much, but I might give my intake idea a go - I'm sure I have one somewhere in the SSR.    Now I just have to think of a name and a backstory ...

Before my engineer leaves for his holiday vacation, a final preview of the F-16AT for this year:

Wheels, wings and nose are attacked, now decals and payload will be next.

[PR19_Kit]

Now that's looking pretty darn good, and I'm a died-in-the-wool F-16 hater too. 

[TheChronicOne]

It's more spikey though!!   

[Tophe]

Good!

[nönöbär]

My engineer is back from his vacation and while he did no model building, he created a few decals.

So the first batch of decals is added:

[Tophe]

Good touch of what-if spirit!

[nönöbär]

So its mostly done now.

Fully weapons have been added, now the remaining decals and the canopy have to be completed.

[Tophe]

  close to completion now

I really like those decals!  Where did you get them, and how can I get lots of them?

Well, made them myself. Searched the web for something I could use. Then printed them on decal paper, sealed them and could use them like any other decals.
Only problem was that I needed decal paper with white background, so I had to cut them out carefully.  Only the dragon on the tail was printed on transparent decal paper.

Thanks for these details in decal-engineering...

I was afraid of that - I don't have the right kind of printer to make decals.  I tried once, and ... well, let's just say it didn't work.
