Started UV-mapping (not everything is in place yet):

Here you see the 747SP in the PW-JT9 engine configuration, I'll try to make the other engine configurations too. Didn't do much to the FDM yet (guess it0uchpods want's to do this), it's now just a cylinder with four JT9 engines :).

Great job, Once I get the plane into my flightgear (so when you finished the first release of the model) I will start on the FDM and cockpit, but if you want to do some things, go ahead!

I think I'm also going to make this livery:

The text on this 747SP is related to the Dutch language, it has something to do with the history of South-Africa. The text says: "Suid-Afrikaanse Lugdiens" translated to Dutch "Zuid-Afrikaanse Luchtdienst" as you can see it comes really close (in English it's South African Airways (well known)). It's funny to how the language changed a little after 1652, when the Dutch came in SA.

Roger, by the way, maybe you can put the landing gear of this plane? It looks alot more realistic than the -200s landing gear.

747-8 Landing gear is nicer, use those?

Martien van der P. is there a way for you to fix the dent in the 3d model by the tail?

It0uchpods: Notice that the 747-123-SCA also was a project from me together with japreja, I guess you mean another 747-200 (I'm using the FGBR version) then me cause that's the - 200 gear. But I'll fit the 747-8 landing gear under it.

N3266G: Yeah, that's what I also was thinking, it doesn't look completly right. But I've used a blueprint to measure the depth of the dent. But it's a bit ugly so I'm going to redo that. Here a pic with the dent visible:

@Martien van der P.

Yah, That sounds good.
I have collected a bunch of instruments that I plan to add, probably the steamguage one first, and I am working for a shell. Do you have the model up in FlightGear yet?

Do you mean the 747SP model? I've it in FlightGear yes, it's also already made livery selectable, but I didn't fixed the tail end yet.
