EddScott 134 Posted April 24, 2012 I think some members have already purchased it actually. Thanks for that. Have ordered one from Banzai Hobby - never ordered from there before so fingers crossed. Daughters birthday is November so will have to stash it until then - Wife and daughter build should be fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sayer 742 Posted April 24, 2012 I do think it looks pretty cool though and if i was going to buy a Hornet, i'd be tempted. I like the fact it is so different and sat on the shelf, it'd certainly be a conversation starter I dunno if that'd be a selling point for me since the conversation would always start the same way: "Ugh! what the heck happened here?..." This would be more likely to start conversation's I'd want to be part of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GregM 1109 Posted April 24, 2012 Lets face it, this hobby to the outside is pretty nerdy and i bet there are more than a few members on here tucking their jumpers into their trousers, probably into their pants too and thinking it looks good! Well, in my mind Professor Skid has a great taste in clothes, hasn't he?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sayer 742 Posted April 24, 2012 Sayer being a 30+ year old man interested in plastic toys is a conversation starter in itself and is sometimes not one i want to be a part of! Lets face it, this hobby to the outside is pretty nerdy and i bet there are more than a few members on here tucking their jumpers into their trousers, probably into their pants too and thinking it looks good! That joke was time release as I had to translate "jumper" and then "pants": "Why would tucking your shirt into your pants be...oh, PANTS!" It's true though. I'm the only one I know in real life who cares at all about R/C beyond thinking it's kinda cool and quirky when I pull out the King Cab at a picnic. On that point though, I suspect I'd get vastly different responses if I pulled out Jun's Hornet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted April 27, 2012 I showed my Mrs this car and she said she liked it, I asked her to explain and she said she liked the colours. Then I showed her the standard Hornet and she said she doesn't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charlie787b 8 Posted April 28, 2012 Going back 20 years the "moo cow" look (black and white to look like a cow)was the bee's knees,the black and white polkadot reminds me of that......I still like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted June 26, 2013 I've finally succumbed and have just nabbed one of these. I have deliberated over it for a while now but have finally bit the bullet, on something of a whim. I'm not gonna lie, it was the two photos below that pushed me over the line. Flame me if you want but I actually think it looks rather beautiful in these shots. Browsing around the net I also spotted this effort from Mr Watanabe too. Not bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't deny that I prefer the orange one over the Watanabe effort. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
