Space 1999 Side Thrusters - High Quality Reproduction

Description: Thank you for visiting my Listing. I acquired a really nice Eagle One some time ago and set about making it 100%. As anyone that has tried to restore an Eagle one knows, the side thrusters are fragile, always with broken tabs and very expensive to find IF you can find them original. I bought every repro out there that looked in the ad to be half-way decent. Ranging from $15 a piece for injection molded replicas, that you still have to glue in, to not so good 3-D printed items that didn't have the look of the original. I had all 4 originals with broken tabs and I could not repair the broken tabs, so I measured these out and did what I think is a pretty decent job capturing the form of the originals. The originals, however, were not masterpieces of injection molding, they have sink marks and slopes, so I tried to recreate this in my model. If you want to match the color of the original, you will need to paint the ones I am producing. What is in the pictures of my Eagle One are unpainted items. (Which is probably my most favorite physical possession.) ***Note: The receiving holes on an original Eagle One are not very consistent. Use caution when inserting these. They are printed in a mix of tough resin which allows for flex. Some Adjustments may be necessary. Test fit and use an fingernail sanding stick to gently remove a portion of the tabs before inserting fully. Once they snap in, that's it, they don't come out without breaking, so make sure you stickers are done prior. If you buy 3, I will throw in the 4th for free. I combine shipping, so please look at my other auctions.
