great spaceship that one, in an otherwise rather poor series. Hey, even Blake's 7 was more entertaining, though obviously a lot more shonky looking, and shonkilly acted too - but still kore fun than 1999

EDIT: haven't time to google for it now but some glorious loony had made a full size model of a Space 1999 Eagle - presumably the struts were 4" drainpipe.

ANOTHER EDIT: Just spotted the pic of the full sized one upthread ! Wow

I was very tempted by that a few months, ago but my stash is big enough already.

It's a great kit, just started priming it in white and hope to finish it by Xmas^_^. It's a very accurate moulding. I heard that someone found & restored the original 44-inch miniature and this kit is basically, a half scale replica. Fits together very well. The blurb on the instructions says that, allowing for inflation, the original filming model would cost about £15k if built today.

I liked the first series, but generally thought the second was pants. The effects though, stand up pretty well and there's some nice model shots which give CG a run for its money.

I know that it isn't a plastic kit, but at the time I wasn't prepared to pay the prices that the TSR2's were going for on the bay, so I decided to make one out of a chair leg. The models in progress in the foreground are a Lotus 49 and an English Electric Lightning. Which was also designed by the same chap that designed the Lysander. View attachment 144718
Try a bit of sideways thinking and you'll see it's there. At clearance prices in most places.
