Still a long way to go but finally some promising progress, can you identify the aircraft?:wavey:

Wasn't that bang seat used on 18 November 2011 when a certain trainer prototype, which had been on display at the Dubai Air Show crashed after departing Dubai on return to Italy?

Hey Luca,
whatever aircraft that is, it sure is a nice technical study!
And nice to see you around, too!

Wish it was guys, I don't know what led you all to say M-346...dvj is right, clearly a Ford F-150!:icon_lol::icon_lol::icon_lol:

Howdy Mat! It was quite challenging all around indeed. I'm glad I made it through, now moving into something a little bit easier, untill mapping, that is.:isadizzy: I'm sure I'm gonna need a bit of advice later on, can I count on you?

Sure mate, but honestly it doesn't look as if you'd be in need of advice from me. :icon_lol::icon29:

Been a long time since that er, Ford was last seen Luca! :jump: (nearly as long as I've been hacking away at a certain Hawker.. ) Great to see you've got more info to make progress with her! :medals:

And I'm sure Mat could give some pointers on texture baking. :mixedsmi:

I hate it when Google gets unable to find a single picture of this bird...

@Tom: yeah I sure could use some pointers when the time comes, and you need to finish that Tempest! Last time I saw it, it was pretty much complete!:salute:

@Dag: When it's ready, I want you to beta test it. I know you're quite picky and that's one thing I like! Who knows, maybe some texture help too!:wavey:

@Daube: Don't tell me! I browsed the most obscure corners of the internet, stole university material, begged for info and I would bribe to get what I need. Still nothing for the most part! Aermacchi staff keep their doors closed as if it was a 5th gen stealth fighter!:icon_lol:

@SixGhost; just let me know. My life is a bit busy at the moment but an M-346 will fit in anytime :-)

Ah I guess I'm just stupid. I didn't understand the Ford F-150 joke, and I was trying to find pictures about an aircraft nammed like that... :sheep:

Work still continues, I thought that modeling the seats would be difficult but I had many a headache figuring out some of the shapes of the HUD. Anyway, this is what it eneded up being!:wavey:

Maybe you confused it with the F4D (Pronounced Ford) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_F4D_Skyray)? ;)

Nice looking M-346. Now we just need a T-50 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KAI_T-50_Golden_Eagle) to go with it.

Good to see you are still working on the M-346 Luca! :applause:

Sundog: How about the Yak-130, the 346's Russian sister.. ?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-130

Well, I'm sure there's more interest in the Golden Eagle right now, unfortunately I can't think of a more unoriginal plane. To my eyes it's another one of those F-16/F-18/Ching Kuo/F-2 "clones". On the other hand, I thought about converting the 346 into a Yak-130. But after a closer look, it really is a different plane inside (of course) and out, to the point that a major rework wouldn't really be feasible in a timely manner.:wavey:
