Flea Pics
Classic vintage Eduard box art
Not many parts but heaps of flash to clean up
The holes need to be drilled out for the wing location tabs
Interior is all PE
Starting to take shape
Dry fit of fuselage and wings.. holds nicely without glue
After all the work on the interior.. you can't see any of it
I bleed for my model making
Time to paint the interior
Assembly of the wings (should have preshaded them first)
The Flea comes together
Some light blue tinted Stynylrez primer
Such a cute tear drop shape
Needed some filling on the wing roots and injection holes
Doing the rib masking the hard way..
Masking was worth it to get the rib shade effect
Model knife for scale... this kit is tiny even in 1:48
A coat of baby blue and the preshading does it's trick under the paint
Now for the underside masking
Why do I torture myself with this? LOL
Classic egg shape
The money shot
The underneath rib shading detail

This "thing" popped up several times in the news feed recently....still can't get over its shape and what the designers were thinking😄 Maybe they were hoping the enemy pilots would not dare to shoot due to cuteness overload? I don't know..

The visabilty when landing was so bad the test pilots crashed the first few prototypes coming down... but in the air it was apparently very fast and agile.

At first I thought it was an eggplane 😄
What an interesting design.
Very nice work 👍

Thanks guys… it was a fun build of a hard to believe but true egg plane.
