Thanks to a fellow modeler I was able to get the Matra pod nose I needed for this build. Last year’s Iron Modeler at Wonderfest left me holding a spare Eagle Transporter Pod, and I had enough pilfered / gathered bits and spares to tackle this ship.
It’s gone ahead pretty fast, especial at the rate that I normally build.
The rest of the current build images are in an album: 
very resourceful with material usage! [I]
[Y] nice job on the build[Y].Ron
Thanks, gang! I appreciate the comments! [8-|]
The paint scheme for most of the Rag Tag Fleet ships is fairly monochrome - whites, different shades of gray, and some highlight colors.
This ship was mainly white, some gray, and had a almost brick red strip around the top of the Eagle Pod. Plus lots of weathering. That gets tackled during this coming week.
And finished! Entered into the Wonderfest 2011 contest in Louisville this past weekend.
