My grandpa was on the TF-1 Trader, so I just love this. This is a fantastic bit of work.

Cheers,

Logan

Wow did this baby ever finish up a treat!

The extensive mods and excellent paint work make this beauty a winner all the way!

You need to enter the Grebe in the next JMN sponsored model show.   :icon_fsm:

Awesome work. Great attention to engineering and details.

 8)   :icon_alabanza:   O. M. G.  What a build! I love the tracker anyway, but the grebe looks even better.
Not only is the paint job smart and fitting, but like you, I think the dirty up staining is just right.  Not so
much that the plane looks neglected, but enough to show that she is a working airframe.
I have just gone out to my hallway to get my hat, which I am now taking off to you Sir.

Beautiful kite!

Doing a SciFied M1117 for a GB on WIM at the moment. I'll post pic's in the Sci Fi forum when I've made a bit more progress.

Then I'll be doing something else armour - I feel I've been letting the side down lately. :-[
