im preparing my saim-han army, got everything i need except for this awesome vehicle called hornet... is there any proxy that suits well? where can i see any picture of a hornet so i can make my own proxy?

There are a couple DRM Andrayada (edit-Kraytonian? Can't remember) vehicles that might proxy well, or make good starts to conversions.

LOL

seems quite similar to a night spinner with different turret... mmmm... i think i can transform a couple of nightspinners into this...

It's smaller, too.

Might work. Take a look at the other images on the FW page first though, because the side view is somewhat deceptive. It's very tall in relation to it's width, which is not apparent in the three-quarters view. You can just see that it has a different engine configuration than a standard Falcon in the above image; it's set up like an F-16 - a single engine with a large ventral intake. I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm not convinced yet.

Do you know how much smaller, E&C? Scaling against the 60mm base, I think it's not more than an inch or so shorter than a Falcon, and maybe two inches thinner at most. I think the main thing is it is much more gracile; it's apparent mass is very much smaller than the Falcon.

been looking at the photos and seems to be the size of a vyper rather than a falcon... maybe adding a big turret to a vyper and modeling the wings a bit...

here's a pic for size comparison.

I included the mark II extension to the falcon, since without it the hornet would be just as long as the falcon.

Also, please excuse the quality, the shot was taken in low light with a cell phone camera.

I once played about with the idea of trimming down a scorpion turret and adding some gun pods.

Trouble is scorpion turrets don't come cheap, unless you can find a way of replicating them somehow............

I cut and paste a few images together in paint to get a feel for it if you're interested.




It's defintiely the right size but the profile is a bit off.

Yup; unless we can get something Jamesy, the scorp turrets are the best bet yet.
