Grumman FB-2G Grebe - FINISHED - pic's pg.10

[Old Wombat]

OK, this is being started for the BtS Floaty GB; the chances of me finishing before the end date is nil, nix nada & zilch but it has given me the incentive to start it.


So, first images:

The boxes


What's in the boxes (well, some of it, anyway)


First cutting done (last night)


What a Sunderland looks like without its belly


Where I'm going with this

[PR19_Kit]

My mind is BOGGLING already! 

[Rick Lowe]

Go, Man, Go! 

[RAFF-35]

Loving this one already 

[zenrat]

At least one of them is the right scale.

You'll obviously be scaleoramaing the Tracker down to 1/72. 

[ericr]

a bold fit !

Weirdo!

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, guys!

This build has been calling to me for quite some time now & I'm really enthused (Almost like an armour build!) by it. Hopefully it stays that way!

[NARSES2]

Now this is going to be good.

[Dizzyfugu]

Interesting combo. Long ago I had the idea of converting a Douglas DB-7 into a fyling boat - this looks similar. And I like much the combination of different scales - looking forward to what becomes of this Frankenstein creation. 

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, gents! Hope I can come close to expectations.

And the Sunderland will be a beautiful airliner, from late forties/very early fifties.

[Captain Canada]

Oh I love it already. The Tracker is one of my all time favourite aeroplanes, so this is going to be good ! Great combo for sure.

[kerick]

Needs turbo engines up high like a CL-214T

[Old Wombat]

Thanks, guys!


Still pondering what to do with the Sunderland, although an armed transport is high on the list at the moment.

Being an ex-Tracker Whacker the old Grey Grumbly is one of my favourites, too.

No ... Although I do have plans to do one of my other Tracker kits as a turbo-prop CoastWatch/RAN Coast Guard/Border Force surveillance/SAR bird.
