I'm pretty sure the first hornet is a aggressor, but the second one is the "retro" paint scheme in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of naval air power.

Now that I'm here, where am I??

Its meant to be a panda lol. Oh well, i guess i can change it up to be an orca. Any suggestions for a name change? (Shes currently bamboo bandit)

Needs some major touchup work, but overall im happy with the design.

P38: Looks like I missed your post, she's looking good! More photos please, you've made some progress since then haven't you? Wink

Scorpy: Ack, sorry I thought orca too!!! Then again she does look sorta pudgy and panda-like once you point it out. I'm sure if you put the name 'Bamboo Bandit' on her side people will get the idea.

Cool, looked at your Kingfisher thread a few times but I often don't comment till the model is finished. Hope it doesn't come off as lack of interest- just my thoughtlessness - sorry.
