First of four Trackers has been completed and decals applied. The Tracker is seen just before touching down. I assume the pilot will be grounded for life as the Bonnie is not finished and arrestor cables have not been fitted.

Scary.  I have the exact same tools, including brand and model, that you do on my bench.

Three of the four aircraft flown off the Bonnie. Awaiting decals for the HO4S and deciding on what decals are needed for the Seaking. I may still make a Banshee.

I just notice that the comment in the photo forum are just for small remark, and not for a dialog, so I will ask again my question here.

1. your craft are amazingly done.  Good job

2 Were to you acquire you're small plexi boxes in the background?  Like you I have quite a few Ferrero Rocher boxes that I utilize since the 80's, but I'm always searching for those 2x3 Plexiglas boxes.
the are better looking.

Thanks

The smaller boxes came with diecast cars at my local supermarket. About $2.00 as I recall. They do make excellent display cases for both the cars and whatever you may want to display.

The Seaking is disappointing and another is being fashioned.

The Trackers and the HO4s turned out OK. There are two more Trackers awaiting the future to dry before applying decals

USS enterprise is a good background while the Bonnie is still in drydock.

I started manufacturing three bladed props for the CV6 airwing. I thought they would be hard, but after figuring how to do the Rotor on the HO4S, props are easy at any size.
