I was about to say, it only takes maybe 8 hours or so to make a model, texturing and skinning doesn't take that long. The cockpit and gunner areas shouldn't take that long. Sound stuff is a breeze, coding, getting the weapons correct and getting the FM correct is what should take the longest. Our guys over at PoE can spit out a done model for BF2 in about two days. And we all have full time jobs on top of our work on the mod.
I am not criticizing HTC. I am just saying it takes a LONG, LONG, LONG time for things to get done over there. So I would say give it two weeks and we should have it.
