Hey guys. With the availability of IRIS' T-6A, and the new announcement of the Pilot Training Capability, wouldn't it be awesome to be able to fly a RNZAF T-6 in FSX? winkyy.gif I might actually give it a shot as my first repaint, but in the case that it turns out to be a crock of shizer, would anybody be keen to give it a crack also?

Image time!



Time to try this thing out..

I probably could have downloaded these from somewhere, but stuff it, if you're going to do something, you may as well over do it.

What I have so far..




Should be finished and ready for download late sunday.

EDIT: Just looking at it, the '01' on the tail needs to come down, and be a little bit smaller. Can you guys sport anything?
