The “Space: 1999” Eagle is a modified version from, I believe, a Korean company that was released in the 1990’s (similar in size to the recent issue from the Aoshima). There were tires included for installation in the center section that I discarded and filled in the holes. The tires could have been included to allow the model to roll along like a car. There were no control thrusters on the outer pods (they were represented as details on the decals that came with the kit). I added little thrusters, as well as enlarged engines on the underside of the model, to increase accuracy.
