well heres my egg probably wont get anything done till next weekend now but thought I would get a pic of it out of its box posted

I've decided:



Mike

That thing's got some serious "glass." And it's already tinted! Wooohooo!

Mike

I want to start but it won't let me upload pics at the moment Oh well I'm sure the problem will be fixed soon, I'll start tomorrow.

Flickr, Image Shack or Photobucket let you host your photos off-site. You can link to them from here with no problem.

OK,

Im in with this one,

My mirage is waiting in the wings almost don with pin ups and then I will start

Here's my entries for the GB. If all goes well these two eggs will be sprialing around each going vertical trailing smoke.

I have always wanted to try an egg plane and I ordered one at 5am this morning during a savage bout of insomnia. If it arrives in time I will look at enlisting for this build. It's the Hasegawa Harrier, but I'm looking to build it as a Sea Harrier FRS1.

Finally I give you my entry AFV clubs mirage start soon

we seemed to find the airbrush bay and next thing I know all the colours are on now awaiting the decals.







(There were some in progress shots Ive taken but think I managed to delete them off my phone )

Justin, never built an AFV Club "egg." Looking forward to seeing how that comes out.

Looking good Samantha.

Mike

Yeah it's almost done

So, what color is the interior of a Hughes 500? Hase doesn't list that color and what I've found online seems to vary between black, green, or gray. I'll be doing this one in the military colors, but I'm kinda stuck on the interior. Any help?

Thanks,

Mike

Went with Gunship Grey.

Mike

Flat black in America sorry didn't see your post earlier

Hi all
heres my hatchling for this campaign



Andy

Nice choice Andy,

It actually look's complicated the way they have chosen to form the body parts, it looks to be three pieces and not the usual 2 halves.

Is this going to be hard to hide with the join lines running in two directions ?

I'd agree. Looks like a nice one tho!

Mike

Just so you know I'm not sitting on my duff:





Everything but the skids are at least primed. The little white things are 1/4" wood dowels, rounded and painted white. These will replicate the missles. The two on the right were "experiments" that didn't work so well, so...I'll repair and repaint.

The bubble is taped on from the inside; micro masked and ready for camo.

Mike

Here's a pic of the current progress on my eggs. Trying to get them ready for the Nats next week at Disney.

Hi all,

my progress so far,



The two body halves joined together,they where slightly warped so I had to sand them flush. I then checked the instructions and found to my dismay that I should have glued the prop pin inside (not all eggplanes are built the same way)



I guess my prop wont be spinning, is this a serious offence.

What nats at Disney

LOL, no, but I did something similar on my first P-38; I thought the landing gear parts went INSIDE the fuselage, not outside. I tried to put the "doors" in, not out (not realizing what they really were - no instructions with the kit). Oh well...got another!
