+Wrench Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 I'm now working on bringing these to FAB aircraft into the SF2-verse, and require some help. I have a listing of the FAB serials (4462-4627), but need to know where the 'break' is for the 2 versions. Also, trying to figure out WHAT gun and how much ammo is carried in the (unfortunately) built-into-the-LOD under wing gunpods on the AT-26 Xivante (2 seater). any and all assistance will be GREATLY appriciated!! Links to websites, books, magazine articles, etc! Many thanks in advance! 1 Quote

I'm not really familiar with this plane, but I had a look and it seems those serials are for the AT-26 2-seater-variant only (182 produced, minus 16 for export is 4462-4628 - just 1 to much, maybe a prototype.) 4630 and 4635 are serials I found for the AT-26A single-seater. AT-26 Information source I'll have a further look tomorrow. Edit: Some more I found. * = Republic South Africa EMB 326GB - Xavante, licenced Aermacchi MB-326GC (x 182) - AT-26: Xavante for FAB (x 166 total) and export - AT-26A: Reconditioned MB-326KC Impala II (11 of 14 bought from RSA*) - RT-26: AT-26s converted to reconnaissance role - XAT-26: Special test a/c for GEEV (Grupo Especial de Ensaio em Voo) https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=16826.0 Edit2: The guns seem to be 30mm DEFA-cannons with 125rpg or 300rpg. (2 different sources). 125rpg seems more realistic I guess. Sorry, misread the question. Above Info is for the single-seater. Edited March 4, 2019 by Nyghtfall Quote

+Coupi Posted March 4, 2019 Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) AT-26A number list : FAB 4630 a 4643 ? http://www.rudnei.cunha.nom.br/FAB/br/at-26a.html "Designados como AT-26A pela FAB, e matriculados como FAB 4630 a 4643, os primeiros Impala Mk 2 foram entregues em março de 2006 ao 1º/4º Grupo de Aviação, sediado na Base Aérea de Natal."

+Wrench Posted March 4, 2019 Author Posted March 4, 2019 Thanks! The rudnel site has been of great help; found that yesturday! Now, the next questions how many aircraft in the squadron/group? it seem each flight of 1/4 GAV have differeing card suites (heart, spade, diamond, club) on their tail fins. This is super easy to do with Level-2 decals (nobody does that better than me!). So, how many A/C in each flight? Quote
