Yeah those limited edition metal Eagles are pretty nice. Although you ought to be able to pick one up for around $800.00. Better get them quick though only 1500 being produced (and only 200 of the rescue Eagles).
The main texture I plan is having the passenger pod layout. But it will be a simple matter to add the red stripes of the rescue pod. The model I had as a kid, of course, had the red stripes.
When AMT reissued the Eagle, I bought one, and the Moonbase Alpha model. I just can't get myself to pay $800 to $1000 for a model.
I have been a fan of the Eagle, ever since the series came out. Shows you how old I am. I watched when they came out, ST,BSG,SW,and all of the Iwin Allen shows.
