Best commercially available kit
For anyone that has an interest in Space 1999 and/or building a nice version of the Eagle Transporter, this is the best way to go in my opinion. Unlike the smaller 1:72 version of this kit by the same company, the lines and details on this kit are far more accurate. Furthermore, the kit allows all sorts of possibilities as far as detailing and aftermarket parts goes. There are lighting kits, interior kits for the passenger pod, aluminum parts for the thruster bells and landing struts, etc. Overall fit of the kit is very good. Detail is crisp, though there is flash developing on the sprues. Construction hasn't presented any serious problems. Downsides are there are a fair amount of mold lines that will need to be scraped, probably the most tedious part of the kit thus far. Also the kit comes with a minimal interior for the command module, and no interior for the pod. Verdict: RecommendedVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Space 1999 kit is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME........!
Over the years & when I used to watch Space 1999 every week, I used to wish all the time that somebody would bring out a kit of this & I think it is an awesome design for the series & good looking as I know that sounds crazy to say that but, when you see some other space craft, they are not always good to look @ as I used to think what the hell is that on some,not all. you know what I mean. Well anyway, I could not believe when MPC made this kit in 1/48 scale,& well I was blown away when I saw it @ a model show completely built & I knew that I had to wait to get one & I have & can't wait to build it myself. Looking @ all the parts, they are fantastic & the decals are superb in my own opinion & the fact that this kit is big, I can only imagine what extra things you can do to it to make it even more real looking as I've look # studied the plastic & it is very doable indeed. All I've got to say is this- ONE BEAUTIFUL KIT all round, stunning, & I think about it being on a moving turntable in the middle of my living room just gazing @ it in amazement cause, that is exactly what I would be doing, that's for sure.Who ever reads what I've written please believe me when I say this kit is ABSOLUTELY well worth the money in every way.

MPC 1/48 SCALE EAGLE KIT
This is a awesome kit. Parts fit pretty good like any model you may have to adjust some parts. It is going to need the aluminum thruster bells and the upgrade metal landing gear. Other then the thrusters it is a great kit to build and show off to friends and family. If you have the chance to get one of these "do it" you will not be disappointed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Beautiful detail you would expect.
Not many people alive remember Space 1999. It was hard to find when it was on back in mid 70s when we only had three TV channels. But the Eagle transporter was the Icon of the show and to have a new product produced so long after the show ended. And this model is what any fan will love. Twice as long as the older less-detailed models. And for a hefty expense, you can even upgrade the thrusters to super-detailed aluminium. Even with that added expense, this is still a bargain compared to some of the premium studio-quality eagles offered over the years. And at 22", it will only take up most of your shrinage desk space. Now if MPC would just produce a HAWK model of the same scale and quality.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Eagle One to Base
The Eagle comes in a rather large box, filled to the top with parts. Each fret is individually wrapped to prevent scratching,or losing any parts. There are lots of them! There are repeat frets for each of the four shoulder pods, 2 in one configuration,and 2 in reverse for the opposite configuration. Forward and rear cage assemblies are duplicated,and are installed opposites end to. The large rear end engine bells are faithfully reproduced, and fit well to the engine cages when assembled The large Passenger Pod is spacious enough inside to fit the aftermarket interior kit available for it. The command Module comes with the back wall, and the two astronauts. Also provided is a rather large sheet of waterslide decals.

Good Model, High Price.
As in the title, the model is a good representation for the Eagle as seen on TV, but is a bit pricey even for its size. Would not recommend this for a novice modeler.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A fantastic kit, but a little tricky.
A very well done model kit. The instructions are a little lacking in warning about confusing assembly directions. A number of pieces can accidentally be glued together inverted and you won't discover it till two steps later after the glue has dried. Other than this, it's a great kit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
