Orso Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Things are going slow with my Albatros egg plane so I'm starting on another one. I SAW a completely different aircraft in my FW190 egg plane so I brought out the SAW. I added a left over nose from a Roden He111C and smoothed things up with Magic Sculp. The tail was cut off and a piece of plastic tube inserted between the parts. The space between them was filled with plastic strips. A new fin from a 1/72 kit replaced the FW190 fin. I am using the the wings from the same kit, but they need to be deformed a bit to look right. A piece was cut from the wing tips but I think the engines look a little thin for an egg.

Gorby Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Is this going to be a 262 egg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orso Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yes that is what I hope to end up with. I just hope it doesn't go to sleep like my little SAAB tunnan. I have butchered an old Matchbox kit but as usual the build stalls for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 You need to carry on with your Tunnan - it looks great so far. Looking forward to seeing your completed Swallow egg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTiger66 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 These are truly fascinating. The Tunnan really looks the part ! Too good for the shelf of doom. The Swallow looks very promising. Great creative fun Best regards TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Who said that there's no fun in modelling ! These are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orso Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) I found these engines in the scrap boxes and think they will work for the rounder look I want. I sure hope they do not belong to any kit I haven't built yet. I am adding the front and rear of the Me262 engines, One problem is that I'm running out of Magic Sculp and I need to blend in those the parts.

Orso Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I put the wings on temporary to se how it would look. I'm not entirely happy with the look of the engine But on the other hand I don't think the original engines look right on it either. Well I have already destroyed one original engine so I have convert the second one to. Boring to do it twice. I tried to edit this but pictures won''t show but clicking on them bring them up.

Orso Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Well I managed to finish the Tunnan: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235026835-mini-saab-tunnan/ The Matchbox kit was shortened and widened with a Lancaster radom for a canopy. The wing was butchered at both ends. After that all needed was to put the pieces together and add large amounts of putty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
