Took a break for about two weeks, got back yesterday, here's what I got so far.

Currently I'm working on the intake scoops which are proving rather difficult. Then gear assemblies and prop. I'm planning on making a cockpit interior, but want to figure out all the basics for the model first, get it flying ect ect...then on to the major details like virtual cockpit and such.

The T-34C is the turboprop version of the venerable T-34A/B Beechcraft "Mentor" trainer of USAF/USN fame. It was exported to various countries, and still used in South America.

It also has seen limited service as a COIN armed aircraft

Deep down, it's a two seat Beech Bonanza on steroids.

Side note - FUJI of Japan built the Mentor under license, and from it developed a four seat liason plane - sort of full circle, eh?

I'd put it more on a par with a turboprop Beagle. I'd compare the Tucano with the T-6 Texan II ... (a locally built variant of a furrin plane)

Couldnt have hit the nail on the head any better! You can really see this if you compare the T34A to a Bonanza, they are almost identical. Even the C model carries over many of the characteristics. All said and done, I'm taking my digital camera to the FBO that I work at and getting some detailed pics of the landing gear for my project.
