Hasegawa Egg MiG-15 Ork Dakkajet Conversion

It all started when Adrian posted about the McDonnell Goblin fighter on the group chat. I was reminded of the Hasegawa Egg Planes series, and had the idea that I could convert one into an Ork Dakkajet. I looked at some photos of the Dakkajet, and realised that it was probably based on the MiG-15, which was one of the planes in the Egg series.

To give the plane an orky look I dug up the bits from an Ork Killa Kan I bought a long time ago but never ended up using - I was planning to make a model using a film cannister. I add some orky weapons, I ordered a pack of Orc HMG Tips and a pack of Orc Biker Heads from Puppets War.

For the construction I decided to clip off the wheels so I could fit these horns to the front of the plane and weapons under the wings.

A Gork head adorns the nose of the plane.

I glued the orc biker head to the torso of a Mad Puppet infantry trooper, and used some 2-part epoxy to sculpt a fur-lined collar and upper arms to the jacket.

After I was satisfied with the set-up, I sprayed the main parts of the model red, and then glued the weapons and orky embellishment to the fuselage and wings.

The plane was pretty plain, so I added checks to the rim of the intake and the tail, and some wedge-shaped decals from the Space Wolves sheet the the wings. I then weathered the model.

This was a fun little project, and I am tempted to do another conversion with an Egg plane soon.
