I wish Hasegawa would do some more - Spitfire, Hurricane, Mig 3, etc. Also some post-war stuff, Lightning, F-86, Mirage, some Migs, etc.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

Surely they did do the F-86 and Mig-15? I'm sure I have an F-86 at home somewhere in fact.

An EggLightning would be a total HOOT though!  :lol:

here is an old site (French) that covers more of them. Jean Barbaud made most of the original samples for Bandai, Fujimi & Hasegawa.

several pages ...

you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

They've recentley released a few more, mostly re-releases in display liveries & a new T-4.  I can only find the Blue Angels T-4 in the UK, we're normally last on the list anyway!

T-4 in Blue Impulse scheme
T-4 in Ayisha Special scheme
F-86 in Blue Impulse scheme (first re-release of the Sabre)
F/A-18 in Blue Angels scheme
F-16 in Thunderbirds scheme

Fingers crossed that they'll be some more recentely, they pretty much sell out in the UK every time some stock comes along so I'll be surprised if there isn't.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

There's a drawing of an Egg Lightning on this page:

If anyone fancies scratching their own egg planes, may I draw your attention to this:

Eggciting news: for Easter, Hobbycraft are doing "fillable eggs", which are hollow plastic egg shapes, approximately 70mm x 50mm, in various garish colours. The intention is that you decorate them fill them with sweets and give them to kids but to hell with the kids, the modelling possibilities are obvious, particularly since the bottom half is a pretty good dome.

Best bit? Packet of 12 = £2.00.........

Some of those are magnificent!  ;D

LOVE the Buccanegg! Suits its shape so well, and the B-36 PeaceEgg works a treat too. As the page seems to emanate from France I'm surprised there isn't a GuerfEgg on there somewhere.......  -_-
