Zero Fighter and Space Shuttle Egg Planes

[Pedronski]

My Daughter, Amy, and I are going to build the following Egg Planes: I'm building the Zero and as Amy loves all things space I've got her a Space Shuttle to build.

First, the Zero...


The Box

I quite like the Manga style and this is something my daughter will definitely like as she is just starting to take an interest in Manga and Anime.


The Contents


The Sprues

There's not much here at all.


The Decals


Instructions

It really looks quite simple.


Decal and Paint Schemes

I'm going to choose option 2, I've been thinking about getting a Zero and I've always liked this colour scheme.



Now for the Shuttle...

This one looks positively complicated compared to my Zero.

Very cool.

Love the little astronaut.

Very nice, can't wait to see these get built.

[Russ72]

Liking the Zero, can't wait to see that. The Astronut's a winner as well.

Here are my Zero pictures



I masked the canopy with frog tape by individually cutting out each piece. I used a technique I found on you tube by Genessis models.



I had primed the model with Vallejo Grey Primer and painted the model. I used Tamiya Paints I used XF-11 (J.N. Green) for the cockpit, XF-12 (J.N. Grey) for the fuselage. I used Vallejo Model Air Black and Silver for the engine and prop. I also used them for the landing gear.







I applied a coat of future and applied the decals.

Here is my daughter's shuttle collages...

Another Father-Daughter build! Love it!

Looks like quality time and fun had by all and some eggscellent builds as well!

Good work! I'm glad to see that your decals on the shuttle didn't self destruct like mine did!
