Re: MPC Space 1999 Eagle 1
Lovely job!
Really brings back memories of the programme, and always on my list of 'must have' (but not at any price....
) kits. One day I'll get lucky

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

That looks so good! I have two of these in the stash, the last one being the Round 2 article.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

Re: MPC Space 1999 Eagle 1
Sweet. Loved the series. I have one in the stash to build.
I've seen the 22 inch long MPC model at work, sorely tempted but way above my price range.
All the best.

Re: MPC Space 1999 Eagle 1
It looks great, I always thought they looked the more realistic design of space craft for that era and still look good today.
Is that the kit Airfix issued or a totally different model?

Re: MPC Space 1999 Eagle 1
Fantastic! I always loved the shape of the thing, Would love to have one in my stash but can't afford it at the moment, I have only seen them on E-BAY at stupidly high prices.

Thank you all
I think the next space craft will be a Saturn - that is when school holidays start
