Impala MK II (Silwer Valke)

3,981 JBPAviation  1.8 years ago
Auto Credit Based on WinsWings's Cold War Challenge - 50-450 parts (CLOSED)

This is my absolute best attempt to build the first addition of the Silver Valcon/Silver Valk.
This is also the first plane I built with a very detailed livery.

The 'Silwer Valke'

Silwer Valke is Afrikaans for Silver Falcons.
The Silver Falcons is South Africa's Aerobatics team. This was the first aircraft they used, the Impala MK I/MK II.
This aircraft is based on the Aermacchi M.B. 326 that was built with permission from Italy in South Africa.
Very typically early South Africa, they named it after an animal (In this case the impala).
As you can see, this aircraft has the old South African flag worked into the livery because this is an aircraft before 1994.
If you want to read more about the aircraft or the Silwer Valke, go look on Wikipedia.

Controls:

AG1: Opens the hatch
AG2: Activates the airbrake
VTOL: Flaps
Regular flight controls further.
Launch the wheapons for a smoke trail.

Enjoy
