Aermacchi MB.326 and derivatives...

Is this a possible repaint for this bird? I think the AT-26 is a MB.326 built by licence in Brasil, correct? Or there are other local modifications?

Yeah, the AT-26 is a variant of the Aermacchi MB.326 - more precisely it is equivalent to the MB.326G afaik.

My base model will be an MB.326E, so avionics and some details may be different... but again, there are have been more than 25 variants built... so I need to make a choice. MB.326E is the variant I had the pleasure to fly in, and therefore we will be my base model.
Which in itself is quite similar to the MB.326G and H (at least after some avionic upgrades).

Anyway I envision having repaints for all the major operators (Brazil, Australia, South Africa) - but the aicraft has been operated in more than 15 nations...
 
Looking forward to thid italien beauty.
I have this seen the real MB.326 on the ILA in Berlin this year.
Should be the same aircraft, that you have flown recently. Isn't it??
 
Yes - it is the only airworthy MB.326 in Europe, owned by Mr. Renzo Catellani in Reggio Emilia (and it the bird on my profile picture of course)!
You might have noticed that the quality of the restoration is astonishing. A fantastic bird indeed.
 
Yes, for me ot was one of the highlights of this arishow.
The guys, who made the restoration, have done a great job.
 
I-RVEG is in a really incredible shape - especially if you considered it was kept in open air for twenty years in front of an amusement park... I was really speechless and feel privileged for having flown it.

Great photos Dino, indeed well looked after, you got to clap your hands to people looking after these oldies :adoration:
 
Good news Dino and Thank You for the beta of Viking!

Do You think about TacPack with MB.326 too (gun? unguided rockets)?
 
The Tacpack strategy for the MB.326 is still TBD but it will be implemented.

The MB.326E only carried a limited selection of gunpods, dumb bombs and rockets, but other versions like the MB.326K had a broader selection of weapons and also had A-A R550 Magic missiles (which will be supported by Tacpack soon)...
 
Big progress:
