Hoi Rubenandres, as a kid I 've build this one. A few years ago, I saw this kit in a store in Arnhem, The Netherlands. As an original print.
Here is a link to the store: Home page | Wentink Hobby
Maybe they still have it. Give it a try, and send them an e-mail. Here 's the link to their contact-page: Mail ons | Wentink Hobby

I hope it will work out for you and let me know!

Greetz, Robijntje

I found it today in a local charity thrift shop. Saw it a couple of days back and wasn't interested myself. But because Ruben wanted one, I went back and bought it for him. It cost me almost nothing.
It is still in good condition, with wrappings and all. Just a little torn at the edges. No damage to model parts.

Now, he gave us that fabulous reworking of Mr. Zorn's Ford Trimotor and the Alan Rose DC-3. So I'll be happy to just give this kit to Ruben for free, as a gift.
Now I only have to send it to Bogotà. That's just a bunch of stamps, I guess. (-: And an address. (Ruben, I PM'ed you.)

I am looking for the detailed model of the Eagle from SPACE 1999 (Moon Base Alpha). I had a copy of the template but the computer that I had it on crashed.

Very interesting kits discussed here!

I'm starting to see a trend... many of our searches tend to be about kits form when we were younger. And some of them were locally released, or promo kits. One can only wonder how many nice paper kits were issued in other parts of the world that are worth seeing! The oil platform Rick mentioned sounds interesting. The Nash dealership is gorgeous. And all the others really sound nice. By the way: the Vigilante is a very beautiful plane. A pity it has not been kited other than by Geli. A modern rendering of it would be awesome.

I think this is a much smaller scale, but the trail starts here ... PAPERMAU: Space: 1999 - Eagle Transporter Paper Model - by Domatine

I've just clicked through and successfully downloaded it.

Other than that if you Google image search for "Eagle Space 1999 paper model" You'll find quite a few references to the bigger one. You may have to go via a pirate site to download it though. There's still an original design one available on Deviant Art though.

Aaron Murphy has a Vigilante. I bought one a couple of months ago.

Guess I'm new enough to paper modeling and being more into civil vehicles haven't really came across anything that I would just go nuts to find. Now there are a couple of plastic car kits that I really keep an eye out for; but even there I got so many I don't really go searching hard for them.

That teaches me (again) to search carefully.
Thanks!

Thank you very much for the link!

Look for the Space 1999 Eagle designed by Keith Withers and Marc Robitaille from around 2005.
