Egg plane group build 1st April-1st May

Post by **Paul** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 10:36 am

So with this fun sig approaching who's taking part and what are you building.

Hasagawa offer a lot of fun aircraft in this eggsellent guise and they are really fun to build, myself and lee have built them in the past and they are great.

I plan on doing the Su-33

There's lot a available, with some even weirder ones in ebay and the likes, emodels sell them as do other uk retailers.

This will be a yearly thing at Easter and with them not costing the earth and being great fun we hope a lot of you will join in.

So then who's gonna take part and what are you going to build

Can't wait for this GB, I will hopefully get my mitts on this:

J-15 Chinese Navy which is really the carrier SU-33

Might have it landing on some toast in the middle of an ocean of baked beans

I am definitely up for this one. I bought a few of these kits last year so I just have to decide which one of them to do.

Any suggestions welcome

Post by **Lee** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 12:04 pm

Well, I bought two the other day. Can't make up my mind which one though. May have to do both

Really eggsited about this eggselent SiG. Looking forward to cracking a couple of boxes open and start smashing away on the models......

Eggsellent enteries there boys

Post by **ScaleModelling1105** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:36 pm

I'm thinking about this one. Seems like good fun. Just out of interest as these kits are really simple do we still post updates in the same format as how we would a gb? As in because there a so few parts you can't really do many updates.
Cheers,

Post by **JohnP** » Tue Feb 18, 2014 9:52 pm

Have my eye on this one - might buy it when the GB comes around

Very egg-static about this upcoming event

Yeah real simple to make and yeah you still need to do updates, simple planes to build so the updates are simple too

You have until the 1st April guys - 6 weeks yet so, plenty of time

Post by **Piatchie** » Wed Feb 19, 2014 4:40 pm

Egg Planes are On The Way!!!! Can't wait for this build!

Post by **ModelStudent** » Mon Feb 24, 2014 6:09 pm

Mine will arrive tomorrow. This is going to be fun.

Post by **Thumboy** » Wed Feb 26, 2014 5:54 am

This will be my first group build and I can't wait. I am thinking of making the Focke Wulf in a d-9 colour scheme with the red underside. I will go to the model shop tomorrow but knowing my luck they probably won't have the 190.

Heh, I already bought this kit in preparation for this build last year.

EDIT: Just bought a Hasegawa egg plane Space Shuttle from a Hong Kong Ebay shop that should be here in time, so might build that instead or both of them.

Hey all..Have been swamped with work. but I am definitely in on this one. I will post a Youtube video with my entry pre-build. Although it will be scratch built, so no kit to show ay. i'll give you a peak at the rough plans and raw materials, after I make some scrambled eggs though. LOL....

My build will not be a plane in the strictest sense, but it will have wings, engine, and flight control surfaces, so it should qualify.

I will not start build until April 1st, but assume I can plan, design and prepare materials for build. Can't let the kit guyz have the easy way out here!

Let the eggtertainment and eggcitement begin.

Please do as much Eggsarition as possible, but this build should be no Yolking matter.

Post by **robertw** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 9:21 pm

I have the Hasegawa F-14 on the way.

I could only allow myself to buy one as I spend WAY too much money on models as it is...

Post by **JonseyAU** » Sat Mar 22, 2014 11:42 pm

These Egg planes look like alot of fun to build. I'm going to pick up a few more from my local store this week. This is my project Focke-Wolf Fw190A.

I have started V-logging the build and all will be revealed on my you tube channel "Clem Day"-"Outback Mini Models" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh9gTB ... jievdCJmiQ The videos won't be up for a while as this is all TOP SECRET this April

My channel is no ISM but we all have to start somewhere.
