So I laid an egg
And the egg hatched. Leave it to the Japanese to think of something as crazy as making airplanes look like... eggs. Its up there with anime eyes and manga hair. Here's the Hasegawa F-4J Phantom eggplane. Mean and menacing isn't it? I got this online and I had a ball building this - the utter lack of reference photos and panel lines just blew my mind and I loved every single second of it. And it isn't just the Phantom. Hasegawa released a whole slew of eggplanes in the 1970s and its all back with a vengeance. Kabuto Koji!!!

Hi Inggo,
I'm assuming you live in Melbourne, Australia, having read your previous posts. Do you know if eggplanes can be bought in Melbourne? And how do you get the edge of paints so straight, masking tape? I'm really new to modelling, I reckon you should post a tutorial for beginners.
Cheers,
Eric
