The search for some cool Centuri starter outfits

[CoolRockets]

These two rockets shown above, are two I have been trying to find for a while. If anyone has one or both of them, comment the size and shape of everything so I can try to make an ok copy

if you scroll to the bottom of any page, you'll see the company logos; just click on centuri, or whatever (i highly recommend whatever... some really cool stuff up there) and scroll til you find your mark. the space 1999 eagle is listed with no data, meaning no one has submitted the plans to jim as of yet. that kit looks like a plastic monogram model with a tube up it's posterior. haven't seen it on ebay at all. saw the sky cycle recently, though. might still be up there. right now there's a really cool buck rogers marauder kit (centuri) bidding around 40. i got one, unbuilt so far, but really nice kit. worth the look.

Thanks for giving me a hand, merry Christmas or happy Hunukkah

As I recall the Centuri Eagle Transporter kit was basically a blow-molded Eagle that was effectively just the nose cone on the rest of the rocket.

It would be difficult to clone, but could be done if you were determined. (Hobby Lobby sells plastic rods and sheets in a wide variety of sizes. You could even do an upscale! )

With regard to the Space 1999 Eagle, in theory I think you could clone with one of the MPC models. They are much more detailed than a blow mold, of course, and you have work out how the aft end (engines) can be modified to receive a body tube. I have not worked this out but it shouldn't be too hard. Some of those models are quite close in scale to the Century nose cone. I have in my possession both the Centuri starter kit ($$) and a couple of MPC kits (pretty reasonable $). Note that a few months ago the Centuri kit that kept being relisted on ebay was part of a Martin Landau estate collection.

Pretty sure @kuririn has some experience getting Space 1999 Eagles to fly.

The Sky Cycle fiber parts are still available at erockets.
https://www.erockets.biz/semroc-centering-ring-fiber-fin-set-sky-cycle-sem-cr-ce-2150/That and the plans from JimZ's will greatly aid your cloning efforts.
Here's my clone with home printed decals from the scans at JimZ's:


And here's the thread of my attempt at a plastic model conversion of the Eagle Transporter.
https://www.rocketryforum.com/threads/pmc-kitbash-clone.150911/#post-1861320It was too heavy, and skywrote so I shelved it.
May revisit that some day.

You mean somersault?

@CoolRockets your treasure hunt has revealed an X on the map. ebay has one (eagle) right now, 5 days left i think. asking a pretty penny. not posting a link 'cause it's really long, so just search it by name.

Ok, thanks.
