Mike Chernecki Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I built these when I was a kid. I had to replace them as an adult. I had one of those. Thanks, I have been trying to remember what it was called.
Pete J. Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 I was thumbing through this thread and noticed I put up some eggplanes I had on the bench. Thought I would throw the finished result up. Lot of darned hard work for such easy little kits.
keyser Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Cool, the Toonderbirds!Nice builds. F16 still wicked even as eggplane.
mustang1989 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Thought I'd bump this thread up to the top again. That is a cool idea with the Thunderbirds.

Roadrunner Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Eggs-quisite!GI may have to poach that idea for myself.
Roadrunner Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I would have like to seen it when those planes scrambled upon takeoff.

Roadrunner Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I've read that F-16's have a fantastic roll rate. In fact, they roll over easy.

ChrisBcritter Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Stop it! This is getting eggscruciating!
Pete J. Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 As long as we're plainly united on the egg theme ......... Got one of those myself. Kind of rare as they only came in McDonalds Happy meals that were served to kids on United's flights. Hang onto that one!
Agent G Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 All these puns have my brain scrambled, if not outright fried.G
Deathgoblin Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Got one of those myself. Kind of rare as they only came in McDonalds Happy meals that were served to kids on United's flights. Hang onto that one! Man, if you could get something that shape to fly, imagine the room in that thing. 12 seats across at the widest, with room to spare. Yeah, it'd be a hundred feet tall....
Crazy Ed Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) 1024 × 530 - en.wikipedia.org I think they did just about did! Edited January 22, 2016 by Crazy Ed
Pete J. Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Oh, yea, the super guppy. Designed to haul parts of the Saturn launch system. Of course a C-5 and the Airbus 380 aren't far off Just a side point. Aerodynamically the egg doesn't work in aircraft because of induced drag and the area rule. That is, drag at any cross section of an aircraft is directly proportional to the area of that cross section. This is why many high speed aircraft have a Coke bottle shape. Aerodynamicists pay a great deal of attention to the area rule.
Mike999 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Maybe this one, that the fe-mail carrier delivered yesterday. 1/72 "Haunebu" (proposed) Nazi flying saucer. A snap-kit but a pretty complex one, since it has full interior detail. From a Korean company I'd never heard of, Hand & Head Models. I think they also do a George Adamski flying saucer in 1/48 scale. Ordered this one from Amazon, $45.00 including shipping. It arrived in about a week and a half from South Korea. I'm just glad they didn't name it the "Haune-bu-bu." That would annoy me... Edited January 22, 2016 by Mike999 Error
Draggon Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 That Nazi flying saucer is pretty darn scary.
Atmobil Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 How would that thing fly? I don't see any engines on it.
Russell C Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Got one of those myself. Kind of rare as they only came in McDonalds Happy meals that were served to kids on United's flights. Hang onto that one!Never knew the origins of it, just saw it waaaaaaay back a long time ago hanging from a string in a toy shop and wished I could have it, while my sister was standing nearby. On impulse, she asked a store clerk how much he would sell it for, and (if I remember right), he made up a 69 cent figure out of thin air, cut it off the string and sold it to her for exactly that price. Then she gave it to me. So it has a particular keep-it-forever value to me.
oldnslow Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 The Germans were experimenting with anti-gravity at the end of the war, the drive was inside the ship.
mustang1989 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Posted January 23, 2016 Now this..........grabbed my attention. Wow!!! I have yet to ever see one of these!!!!
