)
popular subjects in sf modelling (and a personal
favourite of mine, as any regular reader of this tome will
know) and to have a mainstream kit available at this
scale – with the option of an aluminium engine upgrade
set – is a dream come true for many of us.
So thank you sincerely,
Round 2.
You’re about to

Round 2’s
upcoming
twenty-two inch
Eagle
kit, is based on one of the forty-
four-inchers and has been researched and planned by
Chris Trice and Daniel Prudhomme, two very capable
and meticulous gentlemen.
Why zero in on this forthcoming attraction in our
editorial write-up? Because, as with their 1/350th
original series
Star Trek
Enterprise
of four years ago,
Round 2
are about to present us with the holy grail of
genre modelling...
again.
