RCN Grumman Tracker 1/48

[59North]

I've been working away on this kit as the 2nd build of three on my bench. This is the least important build in a time sense, as it's the only one not in a group build environment and is being done for enjoyment solely, with no pressures. I started it on Nov. 28/15, and have decided to share progress here. Hope you like:





















I will post more as it comes along. Thanks for looking and have a great New Year!

This radar reflector looks the part behind the clear part. Well done!
The Eduard pre-painted cockpit parts look amazing. Hope they will be seen later. An eye catcher!

Thanks for the comments guys, it seems to help in a motivational way.
Although, I can't say I achieved a whole lot over the holiday. The seats were installed fully harnessed, and then the cockpit module set in the fuselage. With it clamped and the glue setting, I thought a good time to take a couple of pics:





The crude fire extinguisher is just sitting there just now. I'm still trying to decide where it will go and if I'll dress up that back wall or not. I don't know what was all on the wall, but, definitely there were switch banks and other devices that the kit leaves out. As per indications on this photo:



Till next time, have a good one!

You could cut very thinly stretched sprue to simulate the hundreds of knobs. Then, glue them all ( ) to a very thin piece of plastic and slide this one in place using Gator Glue or similar. But man, I do not wanna need to do this chore...
