Erik De SmetIt is the very old Revell kit , copyright 1982 on one of the parts, just good enough for an egg conversion.

Jan PetersI remember building this as a youngster, muat have been around 1982.... 🙂 I like the idea of an egg 262, looking forward to see you have a go at this

Erik De SmetThanks, friends, I am waiting for a Yahu instrument panel and Eduard Seat belts 1/48 to build and oversize cockpit

Jay DubyaBest take it easy with your barn swallow paint job Erik - you wouldn't want to thrush it!

Jay DubyaSorry to have to ask Erik, but it's not clear in pictures 6&7 of the cockpit of your Meggie 262 - is that a control column or a yoke?

Erik De Smet@Jay, I placed a bended piece of plastic in front of the seat as control stick or is it a joke ?
@ Greg: Tim , the webmaster, lets all Belgians in.
BTW You were right : AA GENT sold Jonathan David last year to LOSC Lille for 30 million Euro, and since then GENT is not playing well in the Belgian football league, but Lille is doing very well in the French League

Greg BakerJay was just being clever... it's hard to tell with him. 🙂
A yoke can either be "an airplane control operating the elevators and ailerons" or "the yellow part of an egg". Although in this case, it could also mean "an arched device formerly laid on the neck of a defeated person" (the kind of thing you throw off when you're freed from slavery). 😄
I'm glad to hear that Tim lets all Belgians in. Anyone from a country that gave the world Tintin is all right in my book.😉
And, yes. I've been following David's move from Gent to Lille. He got off to a bit of a slow start, but seems to have found his feet now. Between him and Alphonso Davies playing under the bright lights at Bayern Munich, the future looks bright for Canadian football. Too early to call them a golden generation though... they actually need to win something first!

Jay DubyaMy apologies Erik - my comments are in no way meant to be a joke at your expense, just your eggplane offers the opportunity for some truely awful puns. I fully understand you marvolusly bi-lingual European may not entirely get, but thanks to Greg, I hope you can see the play on english words (yoke/yolk).
I have also neglected to compliment you on the creativity of your work, it puts a smile on my face. If you did a few more the same, would you do a diorama of a squadron scramble? [Kaboom tish!]
Again, so sorry ...

Erik De SmetNo problem Jay. Since I use to follow the Brexit saga in The Guardian newspaper I discover regularly English words which I did not know ( Never heard of "lambasted" before) .
As for the eggplanes, just look at my albums, you will discover a few more, and even a flying banana.

This bird will surely demoralize its enemies in a dogfight.
