Found this one on Hyperscale, Egg Zeppelin.

Great! Didn't someone do some kind of flying spat that was largely egg shaped???

Here is the build thread for the Zep.

Didn't realize he used a real egg for this.

Here is the finished build thread with all the pics.

Would a start date of Good Friday (April 10th) be to early for this???

It almost seems a crime to paint over that great work!

Sounds ok to me Simon

There's a few GB's ending in April, so I'll PM Anthony & see if we can get it pushed through as an Easter Special!

Not eligible for this GB as these eggcellent ~~dishes~~ models were produced many years ago when Hasegawa first released the egg craft kits. Two of these are not in the current listing.
First there is the Sea Harrier, the kit was for the AV-8A/GR1 but SAM had just given a nice transfer sheet for the Sea Harrier, so it had to be done.
Needless to say this was one of the aircraft that was subsequently scrambled in the Falklands campaign.

Darn it, I forgot to add the photos.
Here they are:

Double darn, the Male Blackbird was meant tp be last.

Who said you Can't Join they just re released the egg planes if you can scoop one up you're good to go

Like I just PM'ed Mossie, this is a brilliant idea, starting on Good Friday when I usually color my Easter Eggs. And since this is to be a one-monther, I don't have a problem unleashing it upon the community.

SO IT IS WRITTEN, SO IT SHALL BE DONE!

Eggs-cellant.

There are plastic Easter Eggs aplenty in the local stores. Might have to find a big one and make a certain Dropship (or would that be Egg Drop ship) from Battletech.
