Drool...
I might just install FSX now. Too bad they missed some of the details on the Tbird model and paint. It still looks awesome though!

Really??! I didn't even notice.

The Lau-129's and white RWR receivers spooked me... (I hadn't even noticed the "missing man" yet). ROFL!!!

The tail feathers moving was wild and the cockpit was just downright bad-... @$$!
Can you tell what block it is? (They aren't just making one).

I see a bug already in the cockpit video. The spider handle (protective guard) over the canopy switch would never be down with the canopy up.
Basically when that guard is down, it keeps the canopy switch in the down position.
Other than that, kick ass model, too bad its a MLU...

Check the screenies throughout the link in the top post, not all of them are the same block, however, I can't find the info anywhere what blocks they are modelling?

Not sure what's going on with Aerosoft's website right now, but they had a Thunderbird paint for this model already made up in other screenshots. Unfortunately, it wasn't as accurate as we'd like, but none the less cool. (We're somewhat of perfectionists around here if you hadn't noticed).

The pictures posted here are already in this link but there are a few more pages of this beauty. I'm buying a new computer Wednesday just so I can run FSX and fly this jet.

Well not really just for that...(ok, maybe)
