H Builds “An Egggscellent WHIFY F35” FINISHED

[Hockeyboy76]

Firstly, a massive thank you to @Enzo Matrix for setting this up in such a short time around real life, all hail Enzo 

 

Thanks also to @JOCKNEY for your ideas as possible alternative ideas.

 

As usual I’m back again in BlitzBuild land, with unbelievably my first Egg related build of the year.  A few domestic chores to complete before starting. I will be following the Dads Army rules on this build. 

The required box shot

 

All those fans of Little H, do not worry, she will be joining tomorrow. 

[JOCKNEY]

Great to have you with us Big H, and glad to see your full time carer Little H will be joining us too.

 

Going by the massive sheet of decals you won't even need to paint this one !

 

Best of luck

 

Cheers Pat

0920, time to crack on. This won’t be a 3 minute egg boil!!

With sounds of the 80s blaring out, the first job is to prime the tail fins in preparation for a gloss coat!!! While that’s drying, the u/c doors and legs will get a coat of white primer. 

Unfortunately to the great disappointment of my good modelling buddy @nimrod54 there will be no primer of pink used. 

And while I’m name dropping, where are you  @modelling minion, @JeroenS, @Hewy Late on parade.

There look to be a lot of decals on that sheet - trust you will placing them eggsactly where the instruction sheet tells you?

[Hewy]

You crack on H, I've plenty on my plate for the time being

[Hockeyboy76]

2hrs 2mins and it’s time off. 

Time to let some paint dry, although it looks like I’m having some issues with the black on the fins. 

Fingers crossed.

@JOCKNEY
maybe, maybe I'll join you guys but right now it's our first weekend with nothing pressing to do since our house move so we went for a nice long hike this morning and right now I'm catching some rays from this large yellow object in the sky that we haven't seen for a good while 😎... I did do a little bit of painting though, an hour or so ago. Y'all have fun now!

Won't be joining in on this one, never have done a blitzbuild and already have 2 builds in progress and about to launch a third.

[Hockeyboy76]

Time on at 0945, and straight into tinkering before I realised I needed a picture

So the fuse is joined, a nice snap fit kit but some extra thin cement to help. 

Jobs for today

Paint fuse

Name and paint pilot

That big yellow warm thing in the sky has made an appearance here in Wales.

Im using it to help dry the Humbrol enamels 

 

[JeroenS]

Be careful you don't start a fire with that magnifier 🙂 

[Hockeyboy76]

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce Flt Lt Bruce Wayne. 

 

[Hockeyboy76]

Finished. Back story and more pictures to follow

 

[Hockeyboy76]

A few years in the future, we find the RAF with Squadrons of F35 B and A models. 

9 Sqn was reformed as the first F35A Sqn and also chosen to display the F35A. 

Enter Flt Lt Bruce Wayne and his display F35A.

Flippin' eck! That was quick. It was like watching an episode of Deputy Dawg, Where'd he go Muskie? Where'd he go?

 

Well done buddy, and it has been duly noted that the PP was missing for this one. I hope that you are going to put that right for the August Blitzbuild.
