A favorite of mine that I've enhanced/updated with better resolution textures and VC texturing. The first pics are the Navy version (polished aluminum) including the names of the project manager, eval pilot and the original emblem of the Naval Air Development Center.

This second set of pics show the initial prototype (painted) with a nice shine and also the current VC. I have a bit more to do and I'll try to get it done and all of it uploaded ASAP.

Wow. What a cool surprise. Loving experimental aircraft as I do, am really keen on this one.

Thanks in advance, and as per your scenery thread, congrats on the new F-5 gig!

Many kind thanks.
