Its design suggested insect-like features with swappable components such as its central "pod," which could serve as a personnel carrier, a rescue center or as a posh transport for V.

Can be displayed extended or retracted and is designed to allow the builder to install magnets (not supplied) for attachment. As seen in the Space 1999 episode 'War Games', this model kit is in scale with the WARP and Product Enterprise Eagles. Building the landing-leg modules presented no issues and I marked each one when finished to be clear about their locations.See The Gerry Anderson Memorabilia Guide (Dennis Nicholson) p218, Sci Fi and Fantasy Models No 39 p44.

The Eagle nose cone is a cast of the third Eagle model, and the side pods and passenger pod cast from David Sisson's replica. They include three options for the crew module windows: blacked out, crew in helmets, or crew without helmets. MPC builds onto its lineup of 14” Eagles by adding the popular “laboratory pod” along with the powerful spine booster. Related kits included here include a hangar set, moonbuggy and launch pad which can make near-studio quality dioramas with the Eagles. I think I would feel much more comfortable masking and painting the panelling on a larger model, I may need to do a larger Eagle at some point and I'd have a bit more confidence with it having done this one.

The Hawk, however, was a sleeker design that was unencumbered by the need to serve in utilitarian roles. The kit includes a large colourful decal sheet, a full-colour decal location guide, and a dome base with a metal support rod for a nice clean display.
