I am planning to do a Rooivalk in the future, after the Cheetah Project is done. What is the feel about a Rooivalk, and is there enough info out there to make a reasonable Rooivalk?
Your input is much appreciated!

I'm sure if we put our collective heads together we can gather enough info. As for external details - that won't be a problem. There are tons of photos out there.

Just the cockpit that will be the challenge. This might help though:
http://www.fhi.co.za/gal/360-11full.htm

It's the front seat of the Rooivalk in 360 view. But this is obviously not where the driver sits so the controls look different.

Hi Jakes
This is a great idea!! Hope you get to do this soon.... :smt023 =D> Will be able to help you out to some degree although there is quite a lot of info around in the public domain, I believe.
Can't wait for you to start. This is the only truly South African aircraft and one we should be proud off.
Please PM me and I'll see what I can supply you with. Will require your e-mail for this. Hope you have a uncapped subscription as I do have quite a lot of stuff.... #-o
All the best with your endeavor regarding this and the Cheetah projects. CAN'T WAIT [-o<

This is what I have ... for a rainy Rooivalk day, not sure if it's 100%. Scaleworx recommends the Humbrol colours, but I could find no digital match for the Green & Brown.
