Radders Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 (edited) I have been after something big (32nd scale) to get into, I lost interest in the Hudson when I cut to much out, the scratch built Savage has progressed and I just keep looking at it, and I don't own too much 1/32nd stuff so the Tracker is top of the list. As you can see I've already cut it out and added a keel, I have no need to add any bulkheads within that section as John "Tigger" uses nice thick plastic, so it's quite rigid now. I will of course add bulkheads for the cockpit and rear of the keel.. Not sure on scheme, I'm just going to concentrate on getting the main areas built for now. I'm very lucky to be able to take my models into work until further notice, so at the moment I'm progressing very nicely on a Combat Models Martin Mars, and now this. This is todays work and it's some size! It's next to a Kinetic 48th kit that I'm going to use for reference. Apologies for the poor photos, I'm up at 5am and not got time to get all my stuff out...

ClumsyDude Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I do love a good vac project ... of course, I'm too scared to tackle them myself, so I just enjoy them vicariously on LSP. Great stuff Radders. Cheers Jim chrish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Nice stuff Radleigh! I am still scared to start my CM Tigercat Unlimited Reno project, cause the vac pull on mine looks like they threw sand on the master before they pulled the vac. Looking forward to some progress!

tomprobert Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I made a start on this kit years ago but it has since disappeared into the depths of the attic somewhere and I've not seen it for years. I do recall it went together well though. For some reason I sense a waterbomber theme... chrish and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozart Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Good, another vac build to keep an eye on! Well done Radders. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 oooh - very cool and will be following.. Had my eye on the Tigger Tracer vac for ages - been pretty scared of it (no freakin idea what to do for props, landing gear etc) but maybe will pull the trigger....

Starfighter Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 This one is on my list as well - can't wait to see what you are going to do with the kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Radleigh, any progress with the tracker? Also have the kit laying around, and like the others would be very interested in what you've done with it so far? cheers, Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel_W Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Radleigh​, I'm also curious if you've made any progress on the Tracker since your last post? Anything from Grumman's always is an interest to me. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Sorry chaps, not done much apart from cut the bulkheads out, floor, cockpit section etc but at the moment no idea where they are lol. Probably in a model box somewhere. I do and really want to get it going though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've decided this is going to br brought back out and worked on, but only 3-4 hours per week... slow work but it'll get it going. Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
