EAGLEMOSS LABORATORY EAGLE

 Here's a few photos of the Eaglemoss Laboratory Eagle.

Like the other two Eaglemoss Eagles, the pod is fixed, and the model comes finished in a distinctive light grey colour rather than diamond white. As I've mentioned before, while it probably annoys the purists, I quite like the light grey colour as it gives the Eaglemoss Eagles a unique look.

 It has plenty of detailing, and comes with a removable  display stand. Each model comes with same booklet describing the Eagle and its function.

I find the Laboratory Pod version the most impressive of the three variations of Eagle models so far released.

I don't how well these models have sold but I'd be happy to see a few more variations brought out as long as they push for a bit of quality control.

 The first Eagle Transporter I got originally had a fair number of quality control issues, so much so resulting in me having to have a replacement sent . With the second release, the side-booster Eagle, again it had some minor issues , but was certainly an improvement. 

 Unsurprisingly this Laboratory Eagle has a couple of niggly alignment imperfections; the portside front landing pad isn't quite level. That's something I can live with as they are suppose to move depending on the terrain, and one of the Pod's support legs isn't in line with the other three. There's also  a similar issue with the engine bells. 

Obviously these models are a lot cheaper than the far superior Sixteen 12 versions, and I think its fair to say that Eaglemoss don't appear to have the best record when it comes to quality control (I speak from experience having subscribed to the Batman Automobillia set!) But, overall I feel these Eagle models are a welcome addition to the collection, and I'm glad that there's still a few manufacturers out there who are still happy and willing to produce new Space: 1999 merchandise.
