Space 1999- Eagle-1

What a blast from the past Just as much fun to build now and it was in the 70's.

My nephew wanted to build a scratch built model of a Mech for some game called Battle Tech. So he showed me pictures of what he wanted. This kit was perfect for the task. Detail was crisp with few flash issues and instructions were very clear, mainly on the tube framing but easy to clean. Fit for the sections I used were spot on. This project was a 2 year build. We added a working light board built from an electronics kit. We also kit bashed a few 1/35th scale weapons packs. I'll review those kits later. We painted it black ,white and 3 shades of gray urban camo pattern. I would Highly recommend this Item to all level builders.

Round 2 has once again brought back the MPC Space:1999 Eagle transport first issued way back in the seventies in conjunction with the show. Like the original issue the kit goes together quickly and easily with a minimum of fuss, save for a couple areas that may require some filler putty. The decals are improved with the correct Alpha Moonbase logos and other incidental markings. For painting I'd ignore the boxart especially the red fuel tanks on the engines, and the stripes on the passenger pod and instead find good reference photos of the actual SFX models on the internet.
