All images depict a work-in-progress, nothing is finalized at this stage.

I decided to have a go at making a livery - this is a simple rendition of "374" that is currently privately owned in the United States.

Another progress update from Phil:

The attached pic shows the competed throttle quad, now with all its linkages as well as the tank release handles. I'm starting the right-side switches console next.

Phil noted this

I just noticed I hadn't made the trim unit behind the throttle, so that and a couple of other items there will be done next, then I'll hop over to the right side.

Phil is working quickly!

Quote

I've finished the trim unit and e-brake box (see attached pic), that about wraps up the left side.

From Phil:

Here's the pilot's right side switch console. There is another panel behind it which I'm doing next, this has the arrestor hook and wingfold controls on it, plus the hand hyd. pump lever will be added between the seat and the console. Please note, these pics are from 3D Studio Max and so the parts shown will look a whole lot better in the game when PBR materials are added, so the switches will be shiny metallic and the knobs shiny plastic etc.
