Only one was operational during 1988-1989, which was a direct rental from Dornier with an option to buy at the end of the rental period. Built based on the couple of pictures left from that era.

Here's what I particularly like about this model (and the same applies to your Tracker test-bed): In the context of a country's (ANY country's) aviation history, the said country's Air Force, and, to a lesser extent, its civilian "flag carrier airline", are the most "visible" and, consequently, result in the most "models built"... But in order to fully appreciate the said country's entire aviation history, in all its diversity, one has to also look at the more humble and forgotten aircraft, one has to dig up the fields of smaller airlines, general aviation, sport aviation, ag-aircraft etc. This is what you did with that short-time rental aircraft - and turned this forgotten story into a beautiful model... Respects! 👍

What a nice comment and a very good point Alex. Efharisto poli. I have never been at the mainline aviation (neither civilian nor military). But these airplanes that I've recently built, at one point have got into my life one way or another. And most of these, as you've said, are either rare or do not exist anymore. Certainly they are the representatives of Turkey's non-famous aviation stories.

I support Alex. Aircraft with a history are more interesting. And sometimes there is only one of them.
