Wow. I loved the first incarnations of the Tornado and the Gyro, but the additions to them have really fleshed them out from a great moc to a wonderful one. The Tornado’s new angled guns are excellent as they really have that m-60 look to them and mounting on the 45 degree is a great aesthetic touch.

The gyro is just the ugly bird that you can’t help but love....and now with extra whitening BLAMMO power.

The Dingo is amazing...it’s like the flying tank of the squad. I always find it hard to make a convincing heavy cannon, but topping it with one of those Jango Slave 1 nozzle thingies....gives it just the perfect taper. The loading breech with the shells is pure gorgeous-ness..ness. It’s too bad this didn’t make the p-38 deadline...woulda been a real contender. Oh...and good to see the new wedge rollbar piece still getting a workout :)

This in an amazing smoosh of the Tornado and the Porco Rosso airframe...from a design standpoint, I think this is my favorite. You’ve managed to merge 2 very distinct and different shapes into one that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but looks both plausible and functional.

Awesome Jamie....stuff like this reminds me that you don’t post nearly enough.

Cheers, -G

Thank you Gil.

The added armaments on the Tornado and the Gyro are a nice improvement compared to the previous “antannae” guns I had on them.

The old nozzle thingie from the Slave 1 is a very versatile and nice looking piece. The shell idea I had for a while and wanted to incorperate it into this plane.

The tail of the Canard is what i spent the most time on. I didn’t want to go with something you wouldn’t find on a regular plane.

Thanks again Gil and I’ll try to post a little more regularly here. :)

Jamie
