I also added the bottom rungs of the ladder assy

Nice work.  I never really watched the show but I think the Eagle is a nice looking ship design.

I watched the show when it was original, then about ten or fifteen years ago, I ordered the complete 1999 and ufo series on dvd.  by trade, I am a airframe and powerplant mechanic.  I used to work the heavy lift aircraft for the strategic air command.so in typical fashion, I think I am going to install wiring or cabling in the ladder section, and trunking on the engines.....I hope

Sounds like you've got a grasp on the details. Your build makes me want to go out and buy one of these. I'll have to look up some episodes on the web.

When it was original? That would be about 35 years ago..   I got S1 on DVD a little while back

I'd love to get hold of another one of these kits. I did one when it was new, a long, long time ago. 

when i was about 8 or 10, I fought with my brother for who would buy the eagle,and who would buy the hawk.  I lost, and bought the hawk............wish i kept it.  lol.   I am getting the ideas from space 1999 eagle engines sight.  there are dozens of pics.  the material comes from waste spru from a bunch of kits.

Yeah, not long after that, I bought the Hawk as a birthday present for a nephew. Wish I'd got one for myself too.

Is this a model kit or the Mattel toy?

Nice work there Ap me, should look even better with the added cabling if you decide to add it.

Funny, though I'm a fan of Landau I never really warmed to this show although the Eagle was a pretty darn cool looking spacecraft.

It's the MPC/Airfix kit. I believe it's due for re-release in the very near future, but the asking price may be a little too rich for me

the first one, the complete one is a original 70s issue.  the one in pieces, is the re release that came out a few months ago

well, i was in cub scouts when i watched it, i guess i am older than i thought.......thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got mine for around 20.00 dollars.  it is about the usual asking price from polar lights
