Here are some lit wireframes of my current status as a starting point. Now the work begins. 

There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Just did a test export to "audit" the mesh. Looking good so far.![]()
Would a Shvetsov engine from an An-2 do (As it is a development of the R1820)? There's one not too far from here. Will also try to take a few shots from the two Trackers at the Aviodrome next weekend!
Do you need any specific details on the outside?
Yep!
Doesn't the Tracer have the same bulging side windows on the cockpit like the Tracker has?

I found an R-1820 pic for a T-28. Maybe they can be used. Also have added the only close up picture I have found of the E-1's inbound flap. These are different than the units used on the C-1 and S-2. They were tested on a modified C-1 that had been used to test the E-1's aerodynamics. It had a modified tail section and this flap. However the wings still folded over the top of the fuselage and the nose section was not stretched. I also added one of the better in-flight shots of E-1.
Milton, More detail and engine pictures for you, the engines are probably not what you need but I thought they may help.

Milton:
Looks like almost something to make flyable soon!
Cheers: Tom
she's looking fantastic! already grinning from ear to ear in anticipation!Bravo Zulu!
Uncle Milton,
I'll use the mapping you'll be applying on this model as it will be easier for painters to switch textures from one sim to another, if this is okay with you:ernae:
Lots of progress today on control surfaces of wings and tails, plus windows.
That's okay with me mate. I'll proceed.![]()
