That's so...so...cute! ;D

They'd sell well in Japan!

i remember, back in the '80s, the Hasegawa model kit company made a whole range of these, called, not surprisingly, 'egg planes'.
i distinctly remember the 'egg Zero', and i'm sure i saw an 'egg F-16' and an 'egg 747'.

edit--- just been for a quick google, go here-
