Rare italian jewel -Aerfer Ariete

[l'iguane]

Hello,

I rediscovered the Aerfer Ariete that was made a time ago by d'Attomo and Quai. Even if the mapping is a bit outdated (really small size of airframe texture mapping) I came to a decent result, (but it's still work in progress) Using usual tweaks with MDLMAT and a full retexturing, the improvement in significant.

Hello MVG3D, well I didnt plan anything yet, just having fun improving this little bird.
Should you, Hschuit and FSX users be interested to participate, I would be happy to see it flying in FSX too

Hi wbuchart,

As you guessed, yes I have been busy on other projects and my current working location makes internet access and uploading a bit challenging, my current connection is so slow, writing at SOH and uploading small jpg's is sometimes not possible.
Thanks for your interest in this project, I'll see what I can do to share an early WIP.

I might try to upload the mdl and main textures separately in this thread if interested.

Cheers

Hi, Yes, I would be interested! I bet others would be, too.
