A "Rhode Island Red" Y-Wing.

Post by Eagle-1 »

Say what you want, that's a good title.

As I stated earlier, I've had a Moebius egg-type Viper in progress for a bit. Somewhere along the way of the build, someone on another forum mentioned that there was this that would compliment it. It is a garage kit made by JPG Productions:

It does seem like it will go fairly well, but to my surprise, there was a FREE gift included:

THIS, I liked even better, so I started on it almost right away.

Anybody else ever seen/heard or possibly built one of these?

Great projects. I've never seen those eggs either. You really have your eggplane sources down.
Thanks,

LOL! See, I knew this was a mistake! "Here's that egg guy again". Can't blame this one on me though, somebody TOLD me about these. The Hasegawa eggs I've had quite awhile. Stashed. I don't even know where they are.

I never knew that somebody made sci fi egg kits! :hmm:

True, not many do, unfortunately. I'll be needin' an Eggswing too, but will probably have to scratch that.

There is this from JPG too though.

In the box picture on this one, there is an X-Wing, but I asked Jimi (JPG) and he said he didn't make those or the Tie's anymore. The Y-Wing was some kinda Wonderfest exclusive deal, but he had an extra or two and sent me one.

Cool stuff…

I have never done an egg plane kit or anything egg kit related.

That Eggstar is great!
