I've been amusing myself for the last couple of months creating a 3d model of the Hawker Hunter. It's as accurate as I can make it, with a few minor fudges for YASIM. Some views are at:

Don't know if it is of any interest to you guys. It flies easily using YASIM, but it's 7,500 vertices flying in close formation, so it makes my Pentium III 866 creak a bit, especially around the Bay area.
Of course, it lacks a decent electrical, hydraulic, engine control system... might get around to those sometime soon.
The instruments are very similar to those used in the Seahawk with which it was a near contemporary, so it wouldn't be a major effort to produce a 3d cockpit for that model, with Lee's permission... I have access to the Pilot's Notes for that aircraft, so I might be able to come up with something pretty accurate.
Hi Vivian,
Your Hawker Hunter looks great. I'm sure many others would love to try flying it. Since you are the author you get to decide how to distribute it, but I'm happy to add it to our aircraft cvs archives. Feel free to send it to me [off-list] and I can commit it to CVS. Also, I bet Lee would be happy to have someone help get him going on 3d cockpits. He's been talking about A-10 texturing, so he must be getting bored. :-)
Thanks!
