Absolutely amazing 
thank you so much.
I have loved the Sabre-Dog ever since I made this kit as a young lad. I sure hope there's a paint-kit as I feel as repaint coming on...

Well, from now I only worked on texturing and Im weak in 3D modelling. If anyone is still in contact with K. Ito, it would be interesting to ask him if he can provide us a version without VC, to allow FSX user to merge others VC. The top would be he allows us to modify his model and create a new, accurate 3d model of VC if some designer around here is willing to contribute... gauges from SF8 are already great and realistic, as well as the radar gauge from Barney Bigard.
If anyone has the required 3D / modelling skills, feel free to PM me.

You can convert the model into FSX format with ModelConverterX. The original VC model will be lost in the process and you can then add any cockpit model you like.

For sure I'm pleased! Nice looks!

@all thanks for these kind words
@ mvg3d, thanks for pics, I have other italian liveries planned and the font/markings on the photos will be useful.
I am still considering a full rework, including a new VC. Let me some time to investigate what could be done, and assuming we get K. Ito permission too...

As far as now, I am still waiting Mr Ito's answer. Many people told me they never had answer from Ito regarding project requests...
So I keep working on the texture packs, as well as a new panel.cfg adding SF8 gauges and radar to the VC...
Another interesting news is that a freeware North American Fury FJ2/FJ2M/FJ3 might be available soon for fs9/X and I might do a texture package for it in the same style than the sabre dog.

Bjoern, thanks for the hint - after some fiddling to get the animations properly converted and adding fresnel ramp, env map and specular map for the canopy glass the result is very nice. In case anyone is interested in the FSX native (exterior) model file send me a PM.
L'iguane, I love what you do with the textures
. Like Huub, I have a weak spot for the Dutch "Kaasjager".
