My Egg Plane build will be the ....



Its a nice little kit and will actualy be my first Aircraft

2 Sprues and a bit of clear. Oh and a Decal sheet the same size as the aircraft.



Poured over the instructions swore a lot as it had a set of paints i didnt have, then i took out some conversion charts, asked the internet and in the end though buggerit ill paint it 3 shades of grey and say its fine

First bits desprued, im going for the helmeted pilot.



The thing is currently drying after being undercoated seperately, shout out to Paul for the idea of supergluing parts to sticks to make it easyer.

No photo of this bit as batterys gone.

Next stage will hopefuly be the application of the greys

Thanks for looking.

Well the kit went together very nicely some issues with the wings but im not overly bothered and they look ok now, basicaly i didnt clean one of the gates well where it attached to the sprue.

Got the thing undercoated and then started by spraying the wing edges and nose cone. Didnt work out too well, blue is too blue.



I did paint up the pilot and am very very happy with how he turned out.





I decided that im going to respray the plane its base colour, then mask of the wing areas, nose cone, air intakes and camo pattern, should have done it that way the first time round, but you live and learn.

Oh and the vallejo model colour metals were terrible, thinned them far too much, so ill be brush painting that bit of the plane

Thanks for following
