Good egg ++FINISHED++


Redstaff

Recommended Posts

As I've finished "Missouri Armada" with a bit of time to spare before the Lancaster STGB I thought of killing the time with the egg plane I bought on a whim a few years ago

Should be a nice quick build and a bit of fun at the end :) 

If I don't do it now it will probably sit there untouched for more years

All these yolks coming out of the woodwork are quite eggstruciating, however the yolk will be on them when I finish it

 

Hope it turns out ok, otherwise I'll end up with egg on my face if I don't crack on when I get home

Quick progress report

Major parts glued together, superb fit of parts as I think it should be a snap together kit

All in primer now, so more pics tomorrow hopefully once it's all dry

Quick pic of main assembly with pilot testing for size :)

Haven't had a lot of free time this week, but had an afternoon to myself while wifey went shopping with her friends, so I cracked on a bit

Managed to get the pilot, let's call him "Eggbert Nobacon", painted and his eye decals fitted and glued in (Moved him back in the  cockpit a little as he seemed too far forward)

Fitted decal to the dash and got the canopy masked for hopefully painting tomorrow

 

Ian :)

Nice to see such attention to detail and accuracy :fool:

Had another productive day and finally the bird has hatched and you can see it in it's shiny new coat :) 

It was a bit of fun at the end of the STGB and if you've never built one of the Hasegawa Egg planes I'd recommend it as it took me right back :) 

Had to do a bit of touching up as the deep panel lines really wick the paint away

Quick pic here and I'll add some more in the gallery in a bit

  • Redstaff changed the title to Good egg ++FINISHED++

When I look at it I think that there must be something wrong with my eyes... :hypnotised:.  Or maybe the PC screen...

 

But it is cute, and very nicely done!
