There's someone on the forum that's been building the MFI-17 as a Gmax learning experience. I know that because i have been helping him get there, but I'll let him say more when and if he is ready to do so.

With John's help, I have a serviceable MFI-17. As it's my first attempt, it has numerous small flaws, learning which I can take forward in future projects, but I've reached a point where I have the Danish contingent populating Karup, with no discernable frame rate hit on my very average pc.
I mention frame rates because I haven't applied LOD's as yet; for my own use it hasn't proven to be necessary and, at this stage in my learning, it seems a little daunting, especially as I don't often get much time for modelling. However, I know that to be truly AI, LOD's must be added, and so I would not upload without first doing that.
I'm still more than pleased to get this far, though. Gmax is no longer the completely foreign land it once was, and it is so satisfying to make something work even a little.
As Sean said of his Wasp, I can't imagine my subject being a popular one; if he reckons seven people in the world are interested in his Wasp, I reckon no more than six for my MFI-17. However, if anyone is desperate for such a thing, I will get to LOD's at some point, or PM me for a beta "as is".
