SPA Modeler

im trying to work through escaping the month-long fugue i was in by working on something completely serious and totally boring...

JK, JK. IT'S AN EGG PLANE!!!



I figured this little guy would be a good way to get back into the swing of things. Like others in the series, its pretty much a snap fit and I'm not expecting any problems!

more soon!

serious indeed...

Seriously silly...

Box n sprues! Very simple kit, not many parts. But the decal sheet is actually pretty darn comprehensive, with full markings and stencils.



In no time at all, I had a plane!



Seriously, I can't get over how CUTE this thing is!

OMG super-cute!

*valley girl mode off*

Though I am a bit suprised by all the setencilling. Those Japanese are always serious, even with egg planes.

OWL, lookin' good already, and a great idea... and hm... cute pilot, too.

Not much clean up was required, just removing some fingerprints... Then it was on to paint!

I didn't feel like powering up the air-conditioning, so I'll be hand painting this.

First coat on, and second color masked.

Is that ordinary painters masking tape? Doesn't that come off when painted over?
