Mike Stone's CMC Leopard

Oops must've not made myself clear, I don't have any drawings of wing profiles, I used a laminar profile I found on the net as it was close enough as FS doesn't use the models for FDE.

The flaps in the wing are full length with a +/- 45 degree deflection. The very outer portion of the tips forward of the flaps is clear and contains the nav and strobe lights.
 
thanks Firebar, I like the landing gear in the wings... very lightning-esque... will get the main shapes done then start cutting bits into it and out of it... seems a shame this was never made for sale, only 2 were built if i recall...
 
Yeah only the two, they were actually up for sale as a project a while ago along with the leopard 6. Now they've dissappeared off to museums and all thats left is photos and diagrams (and a box of instruments in my garage.....). Even my family (my dad worked on the leopard) doesn't have that much stuff on it.

yeah ones at Bournemouth i think, the other at the Midland Air Museum..... it really is a shame, was watching the cockpit footage of the Leopard taking off, due to her height she vibrates quite a bit, cockpit is brilliant has a centre-stick, and not a yoke like you would expect, when i get to the VC any cockpit info (Especially the overhead) might be handy.... again Firebar Many Many thanks for the help, at least we'll then have a way of keeping this beautiful aircraft in the Sky...:jump:
 
Right, here's a quick shot of the 2D panel (co pilots side as I don't have to make the gauges for that side) I've been making
