Brett Barrow Posted June 5, 2015 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:
Jim B Posted June 6, 2015 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.
