BAE Systems CT4 Trainer for FSX
For ZK-CAV

'ZK-CAV' requested a BAE repaint of the freeware CT4E, however due to the nature of my projects a straight repaint wasn't really possible without tinkering with the model. The BAE Systems CT4's are the 'B' model whereas the one I have 'redone' here is a modified 'E' so performs far better than the 'B' and shares much of the nose section with the 'E'.
