Custom Built Eagle One....

[Mark IX Fan]

Here are a few pics of an Eagle One model, custom built for me by Mike Reader...

I believe it started life as an MPC model, but was heavily modified. I'm not sure if Mike used Jim Small's Eagle Authentication Kit or not, but you will recognize Jim's characteristic turned aluminum engine bells and VTOL thrusters....

Although Mike built the model, I fell justified in taking partial credit since, thanks to our crack United States Postal Service, the model showed up on my doorstep in pieces. I had to make repairs to the engine assembly, maneuvering thrusters, replace two landing pods that had snapped off, and repair an area of the spine that was broken....

Final pic shows it next to the PE 12" Eagle. I prefer the custom job!

More Eagles by "Master" Mike Reader...the Rescue Eagle was built using Jim Small's Eagle Authentication kit....and yes, like yours, it also arrived in pieces courtesy of Canada Post....

Beautiful Eagle, Mark IX Fan! Mike Reader did a great job using an MPC kit to build this one.

It is a nice Eagle for sure, but I think the post is old as it was made in 2006 and it doesn't appear as Mike IX has logged in in over a year
