Above is a picture of my first aviation model build since childhood, Hasegawa's Eggplane TBF Avenger. I bought two of these, now discontinued I believe, at an airshow at the Duxford Imperial War museum, around 10-15 years ago. This build was fraught with errors on my part, and I hope to make the 2nd kit much better! Okay, they're a bit silly, in a way. But I do think these Eggplanes are fun, and despite all my goofs, I DID have fun making this. And I learned a fair bit with all the mistakes I made. I've blogged the build here: Hasegawa Eggplane TBF Avenger … and would love it if you guys (and girls?) were to drop by, have a look, and leave a comment (if you felt so moved!). Cheers, Seb.

Very cool. I have an F-18 that I need to build, still sealed in the box.

Thanks for sharing your work. Now you've got me wanting some of these, too… Ron
