titan8251 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Fellas, Started back up on this. Had to scratch build the operators stations in the back as you can see quite a bit. Still have a little bit more to do. Andy ShelbyGT500, mpk, Doctorgaz and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Looks wonderful! This is really slick looking, as Ive always loved the Tracker. Seems like a pretty decently large model too, even in 48th. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Andy...... this one or rather the "A" is on my list, is it as really as bad as everyone says? I want to get the Kinetic A version..................... but don't really need a lot of head aches...... also what AM are you going to use? Apparently there is a ton of it out there......

I will be watching your build with much interest Jeff Jeff, Hello, there are really no fit issues with the kit. at all. The "A" is the same kit with the shorter fuselage. Having said that there is nothing wrong fit wise. There are some accuracy issues, off of the top of my head there is the squared off archway on the aft cockpit bulkhead. Should be rounded at the top not Square. Not sure if the A was different, but the kit weapon bay is too long putting the weapon bay door past the prop arch. The shape of the forward fuselage is off but most people live with it. The panel lines are soft in some spots and disappear at some spots as well. Other than that its a decent kit. As far as the aftermarket stuff goes, I am using the Eduard Big Ed set , D-mold fuselage and nacelle correction, Quickboost pylons,props,engines. Aires wheels and scratch building what I can. I will say that if you deiced to go with the D-mold fuselage correction, you cannot use the Eduard fuselage PE stiff as it corrects the shape of the forward fuselage. Hope this helps.

LSP_K2 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I like your foam cement holder. I used to just epoxy my cement bottle to a square piece of plywood, but don't seem to do it anymore. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

titan8251 Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Managed a little bit of time on the bench. I got the sound proofing done and started dressing up the rear area will scrap PE and stuff from the spares box to busy it up some. Hopefully it will be in paint soon: Andy mpk, Out2gtcha, chukw and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringleheim Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Very nice work so far! The Tracker is a carrier plane that seems to be seldom modeled. I'll look forward to seeing your project come along! mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to seeing your project come along! I agree, although I’ve built 3 of them, the wing joint is tricky and it takes a load of weight to get the nose wheel down! ill make a target of myself and admit I deleted the round engines and put turbines on one of mine. I did nowhere near the level of detail as on this build. amazing work here! mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
