Thought the first Starling was good? Of course not (that's why I never uploaded it)! Well, lately I've been going back through some really old prop aircraft that didn't quite make the cut and improving them with out new-found know-how! This is the Starling. A nimble little bugger I like the classifiy as a "bomber hunter", specialized in ripping through steel beasts. Its got its own nose cannon, too! :D

Yes, he was an intelligent chat buddy. If you want the link to the Google chat, just ask. @OtterOfToast
@Stingray Neat :3 A family man :D
@OtterOfToast @Hypnotoad is not very busy on SP anymore. He's got young kids and a full-time wife unit, and Flys on UK business a lot. A good designer.
@Stingray Arite then, cool! :3 And who's Hypnotoad .-. Pls forgive me.
In a similar boat. I'll post a new, weaponized Steam Punk model. Unlike anything that every flew, but should be fun! @OtterOfToast
You have the wisdom of @Hypnotoad ... no limits... @OtterOfToast
@Stingray I don't usually ever build replicas. I tried with the Peregrine, but it didn't turn out, so I turned it into my own craft instead, so I guess mine are more inspired by other, real life craft. I'm thinking I'll give heavy bombers a shot >:D
OK. Those are harder. The B-25 is common, a good first build. the B-36 I have never tried, the "Peacemaker" is going to be a challenge.
@OtterOfToast
@Stingray I'm thinking what I should go for next. I've got two accomplished fighters, now. Do you think I should try my hand at a heavy prop bomber?
Build more, this is great! @OtterOfToast
@Stingray Thank you so much! :D I really enjoyed re-building it.
Nice build!
