Changed civ color t red, because I wanted to preserve the blue-gray base color. Other minor detailing changes also.
Note: this unit is not sized yet, I just made a guess and did render to test the new colors and such.

That is looking very good Bjorn. Very smooth and polished.

Looks like a C-5 Galaxy without the jets
So this is a light transport. Cool

Very kind of you to say. But I made a goofy mistake. The motion blur props are 5 blades, the static ones are 6. Doh!
Best to catch that sort of embaressing mistake before I sent the FLC's out.
@MarineCrops,
this is a light transport if you consider the C-130 a medium and the C5 a heavy. If you consider the C5 to a be a super-jumbo, then the c-295 would be a medium/large and the C-130 a large.
It can carry up to 75 troops compared to 92 or so for the c130, and around 45 paratroopers compared to 64. The biggest limitation on the c295 are its relative speed and range. The C130 moves at around 400mph for around 7 hours. While the c-295 moves at 300 mph for just under 4 hours. (range - 2800 v. 830miles), plus the C130 shows up carrying at least 20% more cargo.
The c295 is fairly typical of transports of this class. Over 20 nations use the C295, including the USCG.

Way to much information there.
to me 92 isn't all that big of a leap from 75 so I would consider this and the C130 to be in the same class(so to speak)

checked the size, and I guess large. The preview animation is 15% too large (based on the Firaxis B17 and my C130).
The final one will be sized to scale.

Probably the T-tail and the general wide body, but that would still make it more similar to the C-17, especially in that graphic.

Wyrm is correct I was thinking of the C17 Globemaster.
