Isn't there an old saying about "never bringing a katana to a gunfight???"

Absolutely magnificent work, in both concept and execution! You've done your own GB proud!

Talk about the eleventh hour thought I wouldn't get finished in time. Thanks Gamera it's been fun watching the builds and getting this one built. 

 

Never seen an 'egg' Viper before. She's absolutely gorgeous!Yes

Do they do a Cylon Raider to match?

Ever-so-slightly late to the party, here is my Hasegawa 'egg' F-4E Phantom...'tweaked' slightly to F-4J standard, to represent an a/c of the USMC's VMFA-333 'Shamrocks' during the Vietnam War. I ditched the kit's sole included ordnance -- which I think are anti-ship missiles for the JASDF version -- and cobbled up a more-suitable load-out of Sidewinders, Sparrows and a few iron bombs (in the finest Marine 'mud mover' tradition) from other kits and spares.

A few more pics here: http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/183130.aspx [Can't get the verdammt link function to work after repeated tries!!!]

MANY, many thanks to Gamera for hosting a great GB...and to all who threw in, with a variety of clever and inspiring builds. Next April-Fool's Day will be here before we know it: 'Silly Egg II - The Return of The Revenge of Silly Egg'

Nice one Greg looks like a tough little nut, nice looking shamrocks. Have been trying to track down more sci-fi versions if we were to do this again, haven't found anything more yet.

And a super late entry... my wife's first plastic model.  I bought her this for her birthday - Airforce One, but she chose a more creative livery.  She's a very creative doll-house builder.  Maybe we'll see more builds from her here.  

Thanks,

John

My lady likes it.  You might have to either share the bench or build another.

Love it!!!

That could easily pass for one of Braniff's real liveries from the '60s 'no more plain planes' era.

Nicely done.  Yes
