i like it! :thumbsup: (as far as I am concerned, I prefer without decals)
Ahem, I change my mind: with these civilian decals, it is even better than naked :thumbsup: :bow:

Thanks, bud! They did turn out pretty nice.. I like the bright colors and the lil flowers. It's like something you'd hop into for a leisurely Sunday afternoon flight to do some sight seeing.

Small and perfectly formed.

Good job Brad C.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That KLM Tracker is in the Avidome museum at Lelystad, and they do that demo pretty well every weekend IIRC.

It's long been off the flying list though, but it makes a very smart exhibit nonetheless.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Beautiful little bird Brad mate  :thumbsup:
Im not surprised you dont detail paint these little planes.. not sure they make a 30/0 brush for painting panel lines  ;D
Keep em coming mate ..these little things are very cool  :mellow:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Thank you very much!! True enough... I have some nice, tiny lil brushes but the smallest little 0 brush is still mammoth on these deals.  ;D   I try to mitigate by shaping the point nice and straight, and pointed, but I find the most important thing is to not even be even a little bit shaky. If you're a lil hungry, over caffeinated, worn out from working, hands acting up..... etc... may as well hang it up.  :o ;D  But, by golly, when everything is going right there can be tremendous satisfaction from successfully painting something so small and it coming out decent. That said, sometimes it's just not worth it to break out magnifying glasses and and try to really snazz it up so I just don't bother with it sometimes. Hell, I did more detail work on the lil truck than on the plane.

Definitely looking forward to the next one of these and I'll be making another soon I hope. I think I might have ran out of kits, however. I have other small 1/144 stuff (like little private planes and stuff like Jetstars) but as far as fighters I'm empty so I guess I need to peruse eBay.

Wow, my pleasure... this is awesome!!!  - Great work.  :wub:    Just imagine..... a nice warm morning... about 11AM so the sun is high and you're looking forward to lunch but it's still early in the day....  temp's about 75 and a nice breeze.... lil puffy clouds here and there.....   hop in this thing with some friends and just go for a sky-stroll around the islands.......  :mellow:     ahhhhh..... 

The flower design is a nice touch... I like how you used it as a roundel of sorts on the wing.  :mellow:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Neat.

And the KLM Tracker is a nice r/w oddity, too.  :thumbsup:

Cheers!!!   That tracker is damn cool... I'd like to make that one day. It conjurs up other ideas, too. I like the whole thought process behind civilitary.....  ya know....   giving a sort of military type treatment to civilian things... like with my fighter liners. But anyway... the Tracker makes me think of having some weird civilian airliner aircraft carrier out in the middle of the ocean for stop offs, emergencies, and refuelling...   just imagine if airlines took a somewhat different approach to fuel, distance, and etops type of stuff for crossing long distances over water. Smaller much shorter range aircraft, extended through aircraft carriers and flying gas stations like the VC-10 tanker (Civilian) I plan to build. I'm digressing...

I remember my TF-104 Alitalia and Hawker Hunter two-seat British Airways for my FSX...

Brilliant!  Feel free to post pics in here in case someone hasn't seen 'em.  :mellow: 

I think the next one of these types I try to make will be a KLM Viggen. Two things I like... mashed together.
