Space 1999, EAGLE

Rui S
I'm sad, because I lost this kit boxart 🙁 I think it was this one:

Eagle Transporter (Airfix 06174-8, 1:96)

@ Peter, now you are under great pressure, LOL 😄 😄 😄
I hope you can handle it, Mate 😉

Peter Hardy
Well Rui, you have a distinct advantage here. This is a model! However, challenge accepted! Let's see if I am as good as you were 20 years ago!

Rui S
hahaha, Well I like to start earlier, and I thought you didn't like contests or competitions 😄
Do you realy think I have an advantage here? Don't be that hard on me. I didn't had any tools (fancy ones or not), nor nice colours, nor skills at the time. Even so, I know that you are feeling the pressure now, so keep calm Mate, you can do it 😄 😄 😄
P.S. And did you notice the Hi quality scenery and phone photo quality, you be aware...

Kerry COX
Beam me up someone. !!! 😉

JD
Great post Rui S! I'm still addicted to all things Space:1999 as you can probably tell. I just picked up the Eagle kit from AMT in fact. ?

Tim Heimer
I some how missed out on this space 1999 thing when I was younger. I'm still trying to figure out why there's luggage rack on a spaceship! I'm with Kerry, Beam me up! LOL

Peter Hardy
It was Canadian. US wouldn't have had it.

@ Pete, I've to say, in my defence, that this is from 40 years ago, Mate.
@ Kezza, I'm guessing, JD took care of that?

Great result Rui!

Brings back faded memories of the TV show from the mid 80s, when Greece had only two state owned TV channels.

Rui S
Thank you Maciej. That was when I build it, early 80s, and that was Just like in Portugal.
