For cost of this model ( plus addtnl costs of the optnl aluminium rocket thruster cones ), I have found this model a bit of a let down. Sorry. Model clearly has NOT been given enough weathering or details, at this scale. Model just looks too clean and looks to be assembled as quick as possible with very little extra details added. At this scale, many details that are part of the original 44 inch filming model should have been added to the 22 inch size version. Without more weathering, it is near impossible to see all of the details inside of the Eagle’s cage/framework. It all just looks the same color and many inner details just disappear. This model has absolutely NO red, yellow, black color bands and checkerboard band details that appear along different parts of the Eagle's cage/framework! The size of this model is plenty large enough to have added, at least, SOME of these color band details. There are NOT any of these color bands on this pre-made rescue Eagle, NONE! My 12” inch Product Enterprise ( PE ) Eagles have a lot of the color bands around the Eagle's cage/framework. So, why were these left out on an expensive $400 U.S.D., 22 inch size Eagle model? Why? Also, simply NOT enough panel detailing in this model. The ONLY thing that appears to be detailed with complete accuracy is the Command Module nose cone! AND Yes, this model feels very lightweight. This model is deceptively very lightweight for its size. The ONLY reason I am keeping this model is that it looks like, more or less, pretty exact to my smaller 12” PE diecast Rescue/Medical Eagle, minus the missing cage/framework color bands, and really more resembles the 12” PE diecast Eagles, which are, also, lacking any additional panel details and very little weathering to model. The 22 inch long MPC fully assembled Space:1999 rescue/medical Eagle is actually a very close match to the 12” diecast Product Enterprise ( PE ) model replicas.Read full review

The eagle beak and thrusters are very fiddly to attach to the point where you think you might break something. But once on, everything looks great...💫. I recommend getting this model if you are a fan of Space 1999 .. Brings a smile to my face...😃

Great detail and the final paint job was good. wish I was a little bit more weathered but other than that it is a excellent piece.
