This is the old Airfix/MPC 12" kit. Nothing major done to it. other than replacing the plastic clip that holds the pod in place with a magnet, and adding a few stencils from the spares box.

Nice work :thumbsup:
Nice one ! I'd like to build one some day. Just one of those things that would look good up on a shelf. And you could take it down and fly it around as well.....the magnet is a good idea !
Magnets are an excellent way of fitting pods to Eagles, Grand Slams to Lancasters, Blue Steels to V bombers or even containers to Rotodyne skycranes.......and no doubt other things to other things too!! All you have to do (assuming two magnets) is get the polarity right.

Otherwise it becomes a working ordnance-eject feature! ;D
That's a nice rendition of the old kit, the small markings add a lot to the effect.
And the paint turntable works for a sci-fi base, too!
Is that a Maltese Cross ?
If so does that make it a Maltese Eagle Transporter ? For transporting various Maltese birds of prey for hard boiled detectives ?!
