F-16 Thunderbird


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Here is my latest egg plane. This is from the USAF Thunderbirds display team boxing.

I am a huge fan of the Hasegawa egg planes but the decals in this kit sucked! They didn't fit very well, they ripped/cracked easily. I sealed the kit with a couple of coats of Future before decalling. I used Micro Set/Sol during decaling but after drying the decals kept flaking off. They only stayed on after I brush coated the kit with a couple of more heavy coates of Future. I ended up doing a lot of touch up's with paint and a brush.

Even with the crappy decals, I am always happy to add another egg to my growing collection.

Nice finish & very cool display base

Follow you link above, you're really a true fan of Egg plane ^^

I just finished the Thunderbirds Egg plane also and absolutely agree that the decal is the most hardest part of this kit.

Looking forward for your next project :thumbsup:
