I am in the process of picking my next project to model in my Advanced Catia class in school. Anyone have any preferences in cockpits that I should model? I'm thinking 737-200, 737-800, F-16C, T-6A or T-38C? Any preferences?

The 737 has many models out there, maybe pick one that hasnt really been touched? The MD11 cockpit is cool
How about the Rockwell Turbo Commander.
Actually, my reasoning behind mentioning 737 is that so many of you guys do have dimensions I can refer to. The problem I see is that I'll pick something too obscure and never get it handed in for a grade. I'm most likely looking to do something that a bunch of measurements are available on. I'm getting graded on how I do my model and assemblies, not on dimensional accuracy. I'd rather it be pretty close, so people can make use of it though. That way it holds a dual benefit. I get a grade in school and others get a decent CAD solids model to refer to. :)
This is really important. In your case your grade depends on it so you may as well go for an aircraft whose sim parts are in ready supply. The 737 must be the most well supported and manufactured type, in the amateur sim building arena. It's also a relatively easy plane to get used to, and one that you'd probably start on as a first jet, in a real job.
With a 737 sim you can just focus on assembly and configuration, whereas with most other types, you have to manufacture parts yourself, or scour ebay constantly for opportunities.
Good luck
