AMT Space 1999 Eagle finished

I don't know how I missed this, but Great work!

I might have to steal your idea for the landing gear when I get around to making mine!

Mach 1 and Stage Left, Steve--thanks, guys, for the nice compliments. I was a little surprised to see this old thread get resurrected, as this ship was finished quite a while ago., I've still got a second AMT one in the stash, and want to finish it in all-white one day--but I"m bummed as to how I would make that engine cage again without the bendable styrene that made that such an easy mod. They discontinued that product, the last I heard.

I also got two box sets of Space 1999 and relived the first two years--still some pretty good plots and good story writing, but the special effects were pretty primitive and the monsters were frankly ridiculous for the most part, And oh that fashion.....yikes!

I remember seeing this great build back in the Fall 2012 FSM online gallery. Having built a couple of Eagles myself, I know what an absoulte DOG that old AMT/Airfix/MPC Eagle kit is to work with. So anytime someone can do something as impressive as this it should be applauded repeatedly!

Yes, the AMT kit surely has its problems--mostly the engine area. It's so simplified as to be off-putting, but it can be detailed with a fair amount of effort. Hopefully a newer kit will address this?

...What kind of an idiot would slam someone who simply delivers relevant information? Are you upset that your ego wasn't stroked or something?

(chuckle...)

Well, rules infraction or not, I'd love to see a 22" Eagle in plastic. Bring it on!
