Too cool! Hasegawa Hobby Kits just
introduced me to its Eggplane Series that are so cool (and dare I say 'cute?)
Takashi Fujisawa provides the Anime/Manga inspired illustrations for the two
models that take conventional aircraft and cuteify them-thus the Eggplane
label.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon "Thunderbirds" model is a bulbous, squat
version of the famous aircraft that includes a pilot, a clear canopy, landing
gear and all the extras and details you would see on a full-scale, real version
of the aircraft.
Paint, decal and glue application are required but with the short and
concise instructions assembly is a snap!
Equally as cute is the Space Shuttle with its astronaut in full space suit regalia. Once assembled the Space Shuttle has its
hanger doors open, manipulative claw extended and the astronaut floating freely
in space safely tethered to the Space Shuttle.
It too requires paint, decal and paint application.
