Several days ago, I bought the following:

But.........I'm fresh out of ideas on what to whif this bad boy into.  Or even if I should. I could build it straight from the box. I've always liked the design of the Eagle from the tv series. But I'm sure enough sci-fi modelers have already built enough "regular" Eagles as it is. Why should I build another "regular" one to add to the pile so to speak.   After all, I like to be different. I need something, but my mind is a complete blank right now.

should you, could you,   sorry I cant answer that for you, ( can you afford / store 2? do one reel one whif that way)
do a pod with pop out missile bays,
do a pod with a large clear area on one side as a tour / observation,  astronomy version.
bigger  / more thrusters, a high vis paint job and have a formula E racer
replace the pod with some skips, or transport containers and have a ash and trash runner.
do one in pristine colours and have it labelled as "Pre Alan Carter flight test"
make some drones and attach to the spine with a 1/3 width pod and have a picket duty bird.
give it wings, big ones
have it above a dropped pod that's deploying a parachute / parawing, as a dead drop delivery bird.
solar panels as a long endurance mission.

I may add more if I think them up

Eagle Fighter.
Cut the pod and central spine down to about 1/4 of their original length and mount some guns on it.

White with green stripes and red crosses with a siren on the cockpit and you have an hospital ship version.

All black version for stealth.

How about a nice diorama?

I would replace the small windows and the black areas on the cockpit section by big triangular windows.

Buy another one and make a "Super Duper Long Eagle"

Some pictures for inspiration:

Love that picture of the crash !

The two inspirational pcs are both good ideas as well. I like the one that looks like a Star wars A-Wing, and I like the super-long idea as well.

Maybe convert it into a submarine?

I think I may have found a good whif idea for my large scale Space:1999 Eagle. And the more I think about it, the more I'm beginning to like it.
Possibly convert it to a terrestrial firefighting Eagle. Paint it red, orange, and yellow colors, add LED lights, cargo pod for various firefighting equipment, etc.
Make it mostly a terrestrial Eagle that fights large scale forest fires or urban fires, etc.

What do you guys think?

I think thats going to look very good, and will throw a great many minds off kilter as well.
