Hasegawa Eggplane Series たまごひこーきシリーズ F14 Tomcat

[super_average_gunpla]

Another Eggplane done. I'm still struggling with Hasegawa decals.  Protip: This one is super tail-heavy, one look and it tips backward. A weight towards to the cockpit should balance it out.
Thanks for looking.

I just love the egg plane series. So much fun. Absolutely fantastic work on this one!! Secondly, Hasegawa decals just aren’t great. Awesome job working with them. They’re not easy at all to work with.

Hasegawa = bad decals.... Fantastic looking egg!

Excellent model

Those things just make me smile. Curious if they have an algorithim to apply to the standard model kit CAD or just design from scratch.
Well done

Thanks. Good question. Japan has a long history in the "Super Deformed" (SD) or "chibi"  space. You can find SD variants of almost every property. SD Gundam being one of the biggest examples.

I spot a business opportunity! It's actually confusing because I was under the impression Cartograf did Hasegawa's decals and from previous experience Cartograf decals are solid.

Perhaps Cartograf does some of Hasegawa’s decals as they do some of Tamiya’s? But I know if it says Hasegawa “printed in Japan” then I’m in for some stubborn and annoying decals. lol.

I never knew that about the Hasegawa decals in regard to "printed in Japan" on them but I'll be on the lookout for that from now on. Thank you for that tid bit of information bud.

This is indeed a spiffy lil' fun build. You dun good on this Marc.

These egg plane spoofs are just so cool. Maybe its the part of me that really likes characatures.
