    @federicoschulze, thank you, Federico. I new about a few of them, but thanks to George @gblair, I do know a lot of those eggs kits are around there, not only planes.

    @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros

    @tankgrrl, thank you, Anna. Usually I don't add them, my painting is just not good enough to make them look nice. For this kit I wanted to make an exception.

    John, this is an interesting deviation!

    Perhaps I should get moving on an eggplane from the stash when I get time later this year? Looking forward to the next bits here!

    @airbum, thanks, Erik. It is indeed a sidestep from the usual. Making it quiet interesting to be honest

    Wings and air intakes are on and the pilot is ready to take his seat permanently.


    This is how he looks behind the glass.

    These kits really build quickly, John (@johnb). It will be time for paint and markings soon.

    Finally got some bench time after a busy week. Used it to apply a dark primer on the Mirage.

    Looks great, John (@johnb). Primer always seems to pull things together.

    Oh yeah - the primer do make things add up! I hope the pilot does not have to fly blind for too long 🙂

    @fiveten, @gblair @airbum, thanks a lot gentlemen. I do hope to get some paint on this weekend and free the pilot's view.
