That's my boy...full steam ahead!
Weathering, weathering, weathering! No newly minted coins please!
This very fine aircraft deserves the thousands of hours she's going to get; let it appear 'in service'.
p.s. I've already put in for the ouzo...maybe we can get Milton to give it a try when we've all put in our final touches!

Well, if someone wants to do the VC panel and gauges, I will soon have a place for them to sit. Just getting the basics in place here.
A single cylinder of an Antonov An-2 engine, which is based on the R1820:
And a complete R1820; almost head-on but it was hard to shoot as it was tilted back:
Sadly both the Trackers are way out of reach for the crowds at the moment...
Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.
If the shaft hadn't been tilted slightly... It would have been very hard to tell. Still... a bitmap of that engine would probably look nice inside the cowling of the model.

Wow! Lots of progress just starting this today.
All the primary (left, center, right), console, and overhead panels are set and ready for mapping for gauges.
Yoke, pedals, and seats are in place with appropriate animations.
Great progress for the day. VC is now ready to accept panel and gauge work as demonstrated here.
We do need a quality panel/gauge volunteer; any takers?

Thanks Marcel; nice shots.
Certainly not typical, but gives a nice view of a simpler setup.
Thanks Euroastar; a lot to do yet.
Are you wanting to get started on the exterior model now even before the rest of the package is completed? I would like to get the basic cockpit interior in place and complete the mapping of the smaller parts before passing it over to you. Otherwise we will have differences between the versions.
Uncle Milton,
Send me what ever you have now and I'll get down to the nitty gritty

I have a couple not so good shots of the seat in the -T model, Not sure of the difference with the earlier model.
