Thanks very much. I learned a lot with this build, and it was really very fun. I just might do another.

She turned out great! This old kit may be outdated in stock form but boy she comes to life when you put some extra time into her.

     This model turned out sweet!  I really enjoy threads that turn ordinary models into extraordinary ones.  Thanks for posting.  

     Im hoping someone will do a wip of the new tool eagle in the future. (hint,hint)                                                                                                                      knox

I'm going to call this done!

 

I finally got the RCS clusters on.

 

 

 

 

There are pleanty of goofs and many things I would do differently if I was doing it again, but I just love the way it came out!

The fuel cells are supported by bracing on the inside frame supports. Google space 1999 eagle studio model restoration. Many many detailed photos of the engine assembly.
