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

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.

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.
John
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.

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.

A small update.
I have been away from home for a bit.
This is where it is now.
Parts still need to be added.

Some more pics of a little progress.
Still need to add the wingtip lights.
"Kojak" needs some work also.

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.

What is the poly count in main LOD?Looks like not heavy model.

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

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.

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.

Quick look tonight, only model "fault" I can see, is that you can see through the floor from above....
Looks pretty sexy though...
