1/72 scale military spacecraft

I've just literally dusted off this model I built over 20 years ago. Can anyone spot what the fuselage is made from ?

tempted to say ''Dyson nozzle'' BUT AS IT'S TWENTY YEARS OLD PROBABLY NOT

No idea, but it looks damn good

Nice one!

Like the cockpit arrangement a lot, reminds me of the "Moonbase Alpha" Eagles?

it reminds me of the multi unit space explorer that airfix released after the space 1999 stuff ( the windows do any way) cant remember the name of it though.

A Cylon Raider fuselage ?

OK, I'll play, the center top fuselage looks like in came from the rear deck of a tank. German? Panzer family?

F-14 nozzels?

I too though cylon raider for the wings, but thought the shape is a bit off and panel lines too large. Horton?

Nice work.

Well spotted both of you. It's a Cylon Raider. The engine compartment is the body of an old pocket torch. The nozzles are from an X Wing kit. And yes, I was inspired by the 1999 Eagle

I was going to guess Cylon Raider as well....always anticipated them showing up in the old show ! Especially when they started talking !

Nice work !

That's a nice build. Do you have any more around like that?
