Aermacchi MB.326 and derivatives...

Guys, I don't want to spoil the enthusiasm, but these are just early screenshots and it is way too early to talk about repaints.

That being sai, there are already plans to support all the major operators. More news after the Viking release.

Thanks for that mate, but with all do respect, I'll paint them myself. But if I'm time restricted due to other projects, in that case I'll notify you.

Cheers,
Hank
 
Whoa, you are keen Mirage :biggrin-new:

But to me it seems that Dino has only been working on the Aermacchi for a few weeks.

I don't understand how he works so fast! I suppose it is partly due to experience!

Btw. Hank did and do very good job with repaints and he is very experienced FS painter. I think no need need too much painters for official package of models but for sure more skins after official paint kit will be nice always!

@mirage3, Could You be so kind and show us Your any skin? I saw Your many post like this in many topics - with Dino's models, Milviz, Just Flight (+ idea to create PC-21 "better" than Iris model for X as I remember) ect. but no any examples. A little strange, dont You think?

Who? Dino?

@ YoYo
You're right, excuse....
A Short example is a repaint of the BSMP Saab 2000 in the Etihad Regional colors... I made a screenshot, but i don't remember where i put it. I had a problem during upload it on flightsim.com... Anyone does know if i can upload it on flyaway simulations?
Another example's a repaint of a KC-135T of the USAF, Luke AFB, but i never uploaded it.
Thanks to who will help me to upload my ER repaint
 
Well, the main trick is that I do not sleep much!
But actually I have been working on the MB326 for several months... I have been showing it just lately, but if you go on my facebook page you will see that it's been months...
 
By the way, the general idea of the project is to provide liveries (and eventually specific models) for all the major operators.
The base version, as I said, is the MB.326E which is a version for weapons training used only by the Italian Air Force - only 12 were built.
I have plans to provide at least one livery for all the major operators (Italy, Australia, South Africa, Brazil) and maybe several Others. Given the large number of variants it may be impossible for me to cover all of them with accurate cockpit and visul models - I will limit my choice to 3-4 visual models and few cockpit variants (if any at all).

Here is from Wikipedia the list of the users...

Guys,

as I said is way too early to talk about repaints. Also as, as I said, there are plans to support several additional liveries right from the initial package - there should be at least one livery from all the major operators.
Impala MK.II (i.e. MB.326K) is a model I am strongly considering.

@Mirage3
Seems you have posted an actual photo of the screen (I think it is the first time in years I see that!)... did you know you can get an image of your screen by pressing Print Screen and then dumping the image to any image editor?
 
Hank, when the MB.326 will be available, we do decide if you want to repaint it and you do it, or when i also can repaint it....
