HadesOmega Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Latest WIP of my 14" 1/72 MPC Eagle. Paint is a basically all Tamiya acrylics. I got a set of the optional aluminum engine/VTOL bells, and while they're not exactly cheap they do kick up the realism a notch. I was planning to give the passenger pod the red stripes and make this a rescue eagle, but I think I'll do up my big 1/48 scale kit that way instead. 13 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Monty Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Lovely job you've done there. The Eagle was a classic design that still looks good from every angle. This is shaping up to be a quality build. I love the weathering/scorch marks on those engine bells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Brown Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 That’s looking great! If you don’t want to use the provided screws to hold the pod in place, I found some 1 mm thick magnets on eBay that will fit in the gap between the fuselage and the pod. They’re just strong enough to hold the pod in place. I ended up gluing some to the top of the pod and a couple more on top of the crossbar. Artistic license! 😀 I would have tried to hide them under the crossbar and inside the pod, but I didn’t think of using magnets until after the pod was built.

Pete in Lincs Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The metal rocket cones look great. And it looks odd but fabulous just standing on end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadesOmega Posted September 13, 2022 Author Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Happy Breakaway Day! Just need to finish the detailing, apply window decals & attach the pod boosters, then a final satin clear over everything.
