Steve Broderick’s Eagle

Posted on by

There are currently more detailed and accurate kits out there of the Space:1999 eagle, but I built this MPC 2015 issue of the old 1975 kit as a nostalgia piece more than anything else. All of us who enjoyed the show, back in the 70’s, built this model and loved it! Contrary to the ones I built in a rush as a child, I gave this one all the attention, time, and detail, that I could give it. The result is what you see here. I made very few modifications to the kit, wishing it to remain as close to the original version as possible. The launch pad is built from plastic sheet, the mechanical details on it are old kit parts from my spare box. The model has an acrylic case which was removed for the photos.
