I just watched the pilot and next two episodes of Space 1999. The Eagle Transporter really was featured quite a lot, and I found myself thinking about finding and building a Centuri Eagle kit, even though the relevant movie scale part is really just a big plastic nose cone.
Are there other movie/series tie ins that you have found interesting to build? Do any of these rise to the level of a cohesive fleet? Granted, more than one is just a Challenger-1 type Proton Torpedo starter set.
I put together a quick list covering what I found in the 1975-1985 time frame, probably not complete. Please chime in if you know of others that fit this theme. And of course I came across two of the coolest looking rockets that Estes never sold, the Cyclon Raider and the Cygnus Probe Ship.
