Late to the party again, but very nice work there - you have a perfect right to be happy with it.

And the exhaust staining is great, like you thought.

Absolute cracker of a build, well done! 

[Old Wombat]

Wow!

Thanks, gents!



I'm going to have to get a bigger hat at this rate.

[Glenn Gilbertson]

Original and beautifully done!

[Captain Canada]

Oh yeah. Love it. Everything about it ! The Tracker is an absolute favourite of mine, goes back to seeing and playing in the instructional airframes in Borden. But it's an easy aeroplane to love, that pudgy, powerful look. And what a performer she was at sea 

So now you turn it into a flying boat ? Excellent ! The exhaust stains for sure look good....are you sure she wasn't actually running ? Great finish as well, what an eye catching scheme !

I'd nominate it for the Whiffies, but I haven't been around for awhile and can guarantee she's already there !

[Old Wombat]

Thanks heaps, gents!



The exhaust stains were initially done using raised-edge masking, which failed badly & had to be washed off (Gawd, that reminded me of cleaning the ol' Grumblies at Nowra!), after which I took a leap of faith & did them freehand with my airbrush (1st time ever with something that precise).

Lots of airplane in a compact package. Whiffie candidate in a heartbeat. Adios, Larry.

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, Larry!
