Space 1999 Eagle

[Smiling Demon]

Where is a good place to buy a Eagle besides the AMT kit?
Looking for a larger more detailed kit. The 44" kit is too big!

You need the Space 1999 Forum

You have to build it though.

Hey Kenny,
Have you checked out Eagle Transporter?

I bought the Replicas Unlimited version which is (I think) 23" long. Also got the optional metal parts. It looks like a nice kit.

Here is a review of the kit:

Starship Modeler - Replica's Unlimited Eagle Preview


Here is the link to the kit. Not sure where the link to Mike Reader's metal parts are. Hope this helps.

Thanks for those links Will, I haven't seen these. And a Hawk too, they look great.

Federation Models I believe has these back in stock. I want to get one myself but I am still a bit broke right now (and an impulse purchase of a Timeslip Ranger 3 last month didn't help matters).

The RU kit is a very nice offering. While maybe it is a little off from a 22" Studio Model, it can always be modified and IMHO, ultimately is better in several areas to make it a model that is superior to the 22" model based kits that I have seen.

Happy to help. Although mine is in a box in the closet it looks like a great cast. My understanding is that the earlier kits had some flaws that were corrected on later runs (and the price dropped a hundred bucks as well).

you could always bash some bits on a diorama and call it "Alan Carter Lands Again!" good thing they didn't come out of his paycheck.

Thanks for the link, Feek. I think I know what Big D may be getting for Christmas this year!

Federation Models has the newer editions of this kit. The ones I saw at Wonderfest were terrific castings. It's a great model, if you can get it.
