Fundimensions Plastic Construction Kit 1-901. Model Products Corporation (MPC) was an American company that specialized in model kits of cars. In 1970 it was acquired by General Mills, who marketed MPC kits under their Fundimensions Division. In 1985, MPC was acquired by Ertl. The brand was acquired by Round2 in 2008. MPC was primarily known for car kits. It cross-licensed some cars from the UK company Airfix, and subsequently re-branded some of their aircraft kits for the US market. Space: 1999 was cross-licensed with UK Airfix to cover both US and European markets.

EAGLE TRANSPORTER (Airfix)

UK, Europe £2.50 1976

Number 06174-8 (series 8). Airfix began to produce plastic kits in the 1950s, and in the mid-1970s it was dominant in the UK and Europe. In 1971, it bought Meccano-Dinky, becoming the biggest toy company in the UK. The Space: 1999 kits was cross-licensed with MPC to secure access to both the European and US markets. In 1981, Airfix was bought by General Mills (owners of MPC) via it's UK Palitoy division; subsequent kits were often relabelled between MPC and Airfix brands.

The Eagle kit was originated by MPC in the US. The decal of the Moonbase Alpha insignia had red lettering and black space (both should be blue). The illustration of the insignia on the side of the box was detailed and more accurate to the spacesuit version.

Box 28 x 17 x 6.5 cm. Art of rescue Eagle leaving Moon. Later boxes included title repeated in French.

Instruction sheet 52 x 19 cm in English, French & German, with initial short description of series & Eagle.

Text from instruction sheet:

September 9, 1999: A gigantic nuclear explosion tears the moon from Earth's gravitational field and sends it hurtling through space. On the rocky surface of the planet, Moonbase Alpha with some 300 survivors becomes a human colony destined for solar systems far from the Earth's life-sustaining atmosphere. Such is the dramatic setting of the new Gerry Anderson TV series. Space 1999. Trapped with the men and women on the scientific colony of Moonbase is a fleet of nuclear powered Eagle Transporters - the only means the castaways have of fully investigating anything in their path. Their only means - when the time eventually comes - of leaving their island in space. The Moonbase Eagles have a skeletal framework with nuclear power units aft and in the four lateral lifting bodies. The complex control cabin at the front is known generally as 'the beak' and from here the craft is piloted and the systems housed. Hydraulic landing pads enable Eagle to operate from rough terrain and sensing devices provide a fail-safe operational factor. The Eagle's central area is capable of taking a variety of module pods or units designed to carry stores, personnel, survey equipment etc. For combat use, Eagles can be fitted with formidable laser armament and missile racks. In the Eagles, Moonbase personnel journey to other planets and endeavour to protect the colony from outside forces. Their versatility enables them to undertake hazardous missions in the colony's search for a planet on which to establish new life.

The command module is never known as the 'beak' in the series. There are no missile racks on the Eagle.

Airfix also produced the Hawk. A revised version of the kit was produced by Reshape in 1992 and 1994.

Kit parts from the Airfix Eagle were used by Martin Bower on two of his models, seen in Year 2 (although not visible as such on screen). The Ellna buildings in Devil's Planet had clusters of leg pods on them, while the pilot ship from Bringers Of Wonder had the top of a leg pod on the underside.

The kit was promoted in UK children's comics with full-page advertisements, using the box artwork and a short story: 'Will the Eagle Transporter escape the green monster?'. It features Koenig and Bergman landing on a planet and realising its lush underground is an illusion created by a green monster that wants to inhabit their bodies. Read the full text

Editorial

When I first laid eye on this aircraft, I found myself rather confused. However, a brief jogging of the memory brought me back to the hit TV series that the aircraft is based on, Space.

The aircraft that you get here is designed on the original from the series itself, and for fans of the series – or those who like fictional aircraft – this can be immense fun to fly around in.

This aircraft is an absolute monster and is worth check in out for those who want to push the boundaries of performance whilst getting to fly something majorly different.

With a service ceiling of 400,000ft and 75.75 miles and a V max of 2167KIAS @ sea level, you have an aircraft that is major fun to fly.

My Impressions

The first thing that really got to me was how easy it was to fly, given what it’s based on and how it engages itself. The main thing I did enjoy about the design of the aircraft, though, comes from the fact that it was incredible user friendly despite its quirks.

It’s not your average aircraft yet the team behind it have gone a real distance to make sure that it flies just like anything else – though not in a bad way.

It feels totally different to what you might be used to, sure, but it feels magnificent at the same time. One thing that always impresses me about flying fictional models like this is the fact that they tend to carry so much control over their real-life counterparts, making it easy to get to grips with and to master. This is no different.

The detail in the model is spot on, too. It looks just as it should and uses the full power of FSX to ensure it flies with accuracy and detail. The whole system is there to give you an incredible level of performance and make sure that the entire program can feel authentic – well, as authentic as it can given what it’s based on!

I would happily recommend it to any Space fans and beyond.
