Brett Barrow Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Just announced a few days ago at Wonderfest, Round 2 is doing an all-new (nothing in common with the old MPC kit) 22" Eagle Transporter kit. They had a 3D printed prototype at the show, it's not not a plastic test shot. It's is based on the 44" filming miniature used in the show, so think of it as a 1/2 scale model of a studio prop! Word is it will have functioning spring-loaded landing gear and there will be an accessory set of turned metal engine bells that will better capture the details than plastic can. Price will be in the $85-$100 range, they're saying November of this year for it, but knowing how new tooling usually goes these days, I think that's probably a long shot. I hope they can get it out by then, though! Photos by Todd Morton of the Eagle Transporter Facebook group: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That's too cool! I sort of remember that show. I would have liked to get the 1/350 Enterprise, but I don't have anywhere to put it! Actually, I'm looking forward to "The General" release. Too bad Round2 doesn't update the MPC part of their Website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
