One of my favourite spaceships. Always fancied a crack at painting one. Cheers mate. |

I had one of the MEGO Eagle landers. It was like 3 feet long. I think it's still at my mom's. :) |

Love the gantry work and big engines. The Eagle looks like it actually is a spaceship. Apparently the crew who worked on 2001 Space Odyssey also did Space 1999. Not Doug Trumbull, but the UK guys. They had about 2 weeks notice to build the models and get them ready for filming.They would get the script and work from there. YouTube link This documentary has a section aboiut the model making, but the whole thing is worth watching. |

There were some Japanese 1/300 models of the Eagle and Hawk out years ago. Wish I had bought some, but I didn't even know they existed until I saw them in the FWC rulebook. Doug |

The models were made – the Eagles and the moon base – for season 2 of UFO (which predated it by a couple of years). When that was cancelled, Anderson's modelling team (under the late, great Derrek Meddings) were told to repurpose them on a new series so Space 1999 was born. For fans of UFO (like me) while I'd have loved to have seen a second season with those fantastic models, bearing in mind the dreadful drop in quality of S1999 (especially the second series) I've always thought UFO fans dodged a bullet… John T |

Why were they transporting eagles into space? |

If emdrive works, we could build working Eagles. |

It's 22 inches/.55 meters long.
If I could afford it and had a place to store/display it, I would own at least one.
So I bookmarked the page….just in case. |
