A little bit of fun. This time it's not an egg plane but an egg ship!
Meng released this year the USS Lexington in a comic style; I've bought that kit during the Brno expo, Czechia.
Kit is conceived for young modelers; no glue is needed (well... better to use glue for some parts IMHO)...
-
The instruction sheet
-
There are six aircrafts provided with the kit; that are:
Two Wildcats
Two Dauntless
Two Devastators.
It's the first time in my modeler's life that I've build SIX AIRCRAFTS on ONE evening! :))
To be noted that one of the Dauntless will have the wings folded...
For the Wildcats I've glued the propellers; will do that after painting for the others. There are also some parts that will be painted separately: torpedoes of the Devastators and, of course, folded wings of one Dauntless...
-
The work begins...
-
The elevator:
The part is at same level than the deck. My wish is to put the dauntless with folded wings on that elevator; so I've removed some matter and obtained an excellent result - what I really want...
-
Preparation of subassemblies.
Now, ready for painting! :-green
-
Hahaha- who can imagine this egg mania will spread that wide :-razz :-razz
-
very nice and refreshing ! allways put a smile on my face :)
-
Thank you ;)
-
Great kit, but don't let the "outside world" know you've folded the wings on an SBD--they are non-folding on the real thing!
-
Oups...
Well, I can justify it's just comic. ..
-
let's just call it artists freedom :)
-
Exactly ! 😆
-
It's all part of the FUN of builds like these!!!! It's a great project and I hope as time moves forward the "egg" series will somehow get the younger ones involved in scale modeling.
-
True Scott, egg kits can be excellent stuff to bring young people to our hobby...
After having airbrushed white primer, I'm beginning the real paint work.
As I will not use the stickers, I have to paint the yellow strips and code letters on the deck. I have also paint some other elements...
-
Some progress. Minor corrections needed...
