My Hasegawa Big Mac Space Shuttle

This is my new Hasegawa Egg Plane Shuttle 2021.  It was the basic idea of my friend Tres Wright, so I give him credit for spotting the obvious.  I purchased an aftermarket resin kit from RetroKit of the payload bay, shuttle doors, pivoting arm, new space shuttle astronaut, and the cheeseburger.  The resin is easy to work with and I recommend retrokit for their new and innovative Egg Plane conversions.  I built the basic model and painted it red.  The decals are from a NASCAR decal sheet.  As you can see, it was an easy and fun conversion.  I am looking to build a more suitable base for it as soon as I have time.  Maybe something with a McDonald’s theme?  I hope you enjoy the pics and the model.

Before building this kit, the Hasegawa Space Shuttle was one of my least favorite Egg Plane subjects.  Now it is one of my favorites.  A little imagination can take these little kits to new heights!  (pun)

Enjoy the photos.
