KLM Tracker
I will start building Gerards KLM Tracker. I like this airplane and Gerard has done a fine work on this model.
Thanks Gerard for the model

I can´t upload a picture, i have used the forum upload manager and the file is small, but could not upload.
I try later.

That is one awesome aircraft. Grumman had their act together with that robust machine!! I have the Gahms model, but he no longer distributes his work as people were selling his free work and calling it their own, so I cannot share it. ;)

I don't have all of Gahm's models, but I have the ones I hope to build. The pirating of his work justifies his requirements of providing you credentials. I do not release models for this reason. Too much work to throw to the wind, and have someone else sell and take credit for. I'll stick to administrating this forum. The older I get, the more I feel like throwing it all out there, though in reality, I have helped many people complete their works, I like anonymity though. :)

I have started this over again. The first try was a failure :biggrin:, i was not happy with the outcome. This is my first airplane with formers and I am still a novice at this...:biggrin:thumbsup :biggrin:. The picture upload is still not working so pictures will follow.

Somehow you managed to post on the "not working interval" twice. picture uploading should be back soon.

Addendum:

I can't wait to see the model, don't be too hard one yourself. I have yet to see one of these finished, or even different stages of construction! :)

Nice!!! I had not seen this one either..

for future reference GREEBLES... take you engine "JUGS" cylinders and wire wrap an appropriate gage copper wire around them and then a small sliver of stock for the cylinder bolts little bit of black sharpie then aluminum and watch those things take life!

It's really looking good. This is the first time I have seen anyone do this model. You have proved it can be done, and end up with a great looking model of a unique aircraft. :)
