Has the Australian Egg Force considered the Saab 29 Tunnan? It looks as though it's approaching egg proportions as an initial (and surprisingly effective) design.

Does anyone do an Egg Tunan kit though, or does an OOB kit count already?   ;D

Don't know about a Tunnan but I reckon a SLUFF would make a good egg plane.

I've seen those Egg plane kits and thought about doing some cute Area 88 themed ones... you are making that idea very hard to resist.  Geez...

AFV club do an Egg F5...

Thanks mate.

Might do a RAN FEA* Eggtruder next but if I do i'll have to do a parallel build of a 1/72 Intruder in the same scheme.

Cute little one (if the hand/runway belongs to a normal human, not a giant...) ;D

As I said before "I'm gradually coming around to these things". Well done mate, very, very neat  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That does look VERY good Fred, the pale blue rudder is the icing on the egg cake.  :thumbsup: ;D :wub:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I am normal sized.  Many consider me to be abnormal in other respects...

Nice little squadron,  I did a few myself a while back, might get onto the Harrier I've got.

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.

I did an Egg Harrier a while back, specially at the request of the late Mrs_PR19. As she was a duck freak it had a duck as a squadron marking on the nose.

We called the model the Harriegg.............  ;D ;)
