I, too, don't "go for" egg planes -- if I want a non-serious kit I'll just do a straight OOB using kit decals and not care about how it looks (oddly, some of my better planes came about this way!)

HAHA! The pinnacle of accuracy!! Just how big are these "egg planes"?

Tom

The F-4 has a wingspan of about 3", length is pretty close to that as well.

The Space Shuttle has a wingspan of about 2" and is about 3" long.

I think the kits are all roughly the same size since they all use the same bases.

doesnt that flanker come with PE, white metal details?

Yes, but...... from my Flanker Kits Survey (written about 5 years ago).....

It is a so-called ‘Hi-Tech’ kit with etched-steel and white-metal parts, although I have to say that the white-metal undercarriage could probably have been done equally well in plastic. The etched parts are good and are usefully employed where the medium is at its best - the HUD, canopy mirrors, intake mesh and afterburner ring.

The instrument panels are just as good on the decal sheet whilst the rest of the etched fret is just about useless. There are grilles for the intake sides and a few grilles for the forward fuselage but no provision has been made to locate them in any recesses - they just stand proud of the surface and seem to have been added as an afterthought. The parts that could have been supplied as etchings, such as the various aerials on the fins, the ‘Odd-Rods’ IFF aerials and the gas exhaust slots on the cannon are not included.
