Description

Martin Bower-built "Eagle" transport miniature from Space: 1999. Original Eagle transport miniature replica made to exacting standards by legendary master model builder Martin Bower. Constructed of welded brass spine and frame, machined aluminum thruster bells, fiberglass and resin. Expertly assembled, painted and finished to the highest level of Hollywood artistry and craftsmanship. The impressive model measures 44 x 18 x 9 in. and features a detachable "rescue" pod (designated by the red stripe paint scheme). The superstructure of the craft features the spring-loaded and articulated landing gear, access galley, aft compartment, fuel tanks and ship's main propulsion system. The front pilot cabin is illuminated from within where the two miniature pilots are visible through the front viewing ports (battery powered lights are activated by depressing a button on the nose cone). Finished with custom decals, hand painted accents and artful studio distress to make the ship appear to be spaceworthy and worn from use. One will not find a finer built model. In very fine condition.
