Thanks, I'll update the -1000 template.

Just out of curiosity, will you do the 358 for the never-built thread?

I might indeed. Is there anything I'd need to know as far as details go other than just shrinking the fuselage in appropriate sections?

Nothing as far as I know. six frames less forward (3,78m) and four aft (2,52m) of the wing. But I'm pretty sure you already know that

I would have had to look it up, but thanks for letting me know, haha.

It has been done.

Paralleling the company I gave to the unbuilt 358 with the 335, I augmented Garlicdesign's excellent GE and RR Airbus 330s with the Pratt & Whitney powerplants. I also did some touch-ups to the engines and colour schemes and added the cargo doors. Obviously, I ended up ammassing everything on a single sheet.

Airbus A330:

Awesome. You said you were planning on cranking out the A330neo? Here are some good source photos of the real, actually-built thing, albeit without the namesake RR Trent 7000 engines. As you can see, it appears to share the same anti-glare "goggles" of the A350, as well as a similar style of blended winglets, but at a shallower vertical angle.

Indeed, and thanks for those pictures. I'm actually waiting like a vulture for Airbus and RR to fit those Trent7000s to that airframe so I can finally draw the NEOs.

Looking forward to it when that happens.

Cessna 208 Caravan
Updated the Caravan family tree, including the amphibious 208B.





The ill-fated twin-engine, single-prop Caravan, the Soloy Pathfinder 21. Using 2 PT6 engines connected to a single propeller through a twin-pac gear box, similar to a twin-engine helicopter installation, the Pathfinder was a further stretch to the Caravan with the fuselage deepened to include a permanet cargo bay. The Pathfinder was denied final certification due to difficulties in converting the Caravan airframe to airliner standards, even though flight performance was excellent.

Added missing de-ice boots.
