Trojan rabbit, for some reason I wasn't able to PM you, so here are some pics of the thunderbird 1 from the 2004 movie. I also have some figures - by the way I need this aircraft for FS9.
The plane is 80 feet long, and its wingspan is 30 feet. It weighs 140 tons, and is able to cruise at FS9's ceiling of 99,999 feet. Its trump card is its speed - 15000 miles per hour, which is equivalent to 6.7 kilometers a second!!!!!! :o :o :o :o

Sorry for the quality of the shots - I added labels to highlight the important features of the craft. The shots themselves come off a screensaver available from the official 2004 movie website.

An-32 (2x5000 hp on An-24 airframe)
Beriev Albatross (predecessor of the Be-200)
MiG-31 non-M... whitout winglets
Yak-11. Texan but with pedigree (it's a Yak-3 with a radial and clipped wings)
Petylakov Pe-8 in rollout config (4 engined WW2 bomber that is larger than an Avro Lancaster)

That Valkyrie is not so good...the model is nice, and the VC is non-functional...but the texturing fails. Its supposed to have a COMPLETELY black nose, at least on top.

That thunderbird 1 is from the 1960's series. I need the redesigned version from the 2004 movie

This post is a request to any 3d designers out there who would be willing to model the redesigned Thunderbird 1 from the 2004 movie, for FS2004. Please, if you are willing to create a flyable aircraft, leave comments here.

Features I would wish to see (it helps if you have seen the movie and know what I'm talking about)
A VC
VTOL capabilities
Swing-wings, as seen in the movie
The rear thrusters to swing down, again as seen in the movie
Accurate landing gear
Transparent cockpit
Two VTOL jets that come out of the fuselage during hover flight (as described in my prevous post, with the three-views)
and finally;
Immense speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (15000mph to be exact!)
