This is what I have so far.
A long way to go yet.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Nice! You've captured the shape nicely...
I missed the chance for a fly of one; back in the 80's a friend owned one and I never got around to getting my ride
It's now a wreck after it crashed in Greenland on the ferry to it's new owner in the US.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Thank you Sean
I have had a little help here from TheFoufure. He compared mine to the Real Air one. Photos that Greg posted a while back also came in handy.

PS. If anyone is interested in critiquing it as it grows, please send me a PM and I will forward the files. No obligation to help.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
So, it seems that I have to start a scenery for Latina, base of the Italian SF-260... 
Here some interesting shots:

Thank you Giorgio.
These will help a great deal.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Just to allay fears that this has stalled.
Progress is slow.
I am improving the model as I go along.
Still a lot to do before it will be ready for release.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
A small update.
I have been away from home for a bit.
This is where it is now.
Parts still need to be added.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Great job John. Fantastic model ! Good continuation. And don't hesitate if you still need some help or pictures 
Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Some more pics of a little progress.
Still need to add the wingtip lights.
"Kojak" needs some work also.

Looking pretty smart!

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
More pictures.
I would like some feed back on the model.
I am considering posting files on this thread. Beta versions.
They are frame rate heavy at the moment.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260

It has 2972 vertices and 3665 faces.
I have made my first tentative steps at making LOD's.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
This is a single LOD beta version.
The pilots are not textured yet.
My intention is to create interest and invite you to test later true AI versions. It may take a while as I am still not confident of the LOD process.
Enjoy these for now. Let me know of errors or requests. I will consider but not necessarily make the suggestions happen.
John
PS. Should you want the Italian version please send a PM. The reply will include a basic layout of LIRL in the correct position.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Thanks John... I'll get it in the sim and have a good detailed look tonight.
Quick question: Is the texture mapping likely to stay as it is in the Beta? If so, I might have a hack at a repaint as well

The mapping should stay the same. I would have to neaten it up a bit.

Re: SIAI Marchetti SF-260
Quick look tonight, only model "fault" I can see, is that you can see through the floor from above....
Looks pretty sexy though...
