very nice! The nice thing with the Eagle is even if you screw it up, you can just throw the kit against the wall and put it in a crashed diorama! 😱

The paint work on the rescue pod came out very good.

The engine bells came out very nice. I understand that assembling the rear engine with its tubing can be tricky?

Thanks all for the comments. It's coming along nicely even though I'm being distracted on the weekends with the Rugby World Cup. Unfortunately my Team (Wales) have now been knocked out so more time for modelling 😄. @Villiers de Vos, Yes the engine tank assembly is very fiddly, there's 8 rods, 4 of them perpendicular to the base and another 4 at an angle and you need to sandwich them between the "top" and "bottom" parts lining them all up at the same time. Taking your time and using Tamiya Extra Thin allows a bit of "wiggle time" to be able to do that bit. All the pipework parts were fiddly but the engine is probably the trickiest. Thankfully past that stage now and into adding paint and dirt then assembling 😎

The newsfeed says 84 photos but when I go into the album there's only 64 and I can't see the completed photos. The cover image looks great though!

Thanks for the kind comments. This was a long build but I suppose that's to be expected for such a big kit, just need to find somewhere to put it now 😄
@Ben, sounds like you're missing all the photos uploaded yesterday (5th Nov), maybe your browser has cached the gallery so trying a F5/Command+F/Refresh might bring the rest of the photos?

Hi Gareth, I can see them now. I was having lots of trouble with scalemates. Dumping the cache and reloading didn't help. Your eagle looks fantastic!

Album info

Next on the bench is the MPC Eagle Transporter from Space 1999. Planning to follow how ModelMakingGuru made his one using the playlist at Youtube Video .
I don't have the special edition version that he built in then videos so not so many decals and I'm planning to do the Rescue Version with the Red Stripes on the pod in the middle.
