New An-26 Previews from MadFlight Studio
MadFlight Studio has been relatively quiet since October with regards to their An-26, but Saturday saw the developer break the ice with some new previews of the twin-engined Antonov.


In October of last year, the developer shared images of the centre pedestal with regular and PBR textures applied, and today's images appear to show the panels towards the back of the cockpit, which houses the switches for the electrical system, amongst others.
The aircraft itself first flew in 1969, but according to Jane's All the World's Aircraft, it requires a crew of five to operate: a radio operator, flight engineer, and navigator join two pilots on the flight deck.
MadFlight Studio began to work on an Antonov An-26 in January 2019, with progress evident through today's renders, along with those released previously.


As can be seen, the notations on the panels are printed in Russian, but the developer has said in the post that English is to follow.
Additionally, a mixture of textured and untextured screws can be seen in the above screenshots, to which the developer has acknowledged and admitted some screws are not yet textured.
Further to this, Kirichenko shared texture work of some lit lamps, adding these are only in Russian at the moment.

Occasional updates are available in the developer's Facebook group. The team are also working on an An-148, with development having begun two months ago; some early work of the relatively modern airliner is available to view below.

The developer also released version 2 of their Spectr-Aero SP-30 not too long ago; the details of which can be viewed here.
