[MISC] Moonbase Alpha

I'm about to get some names and details wrong, so you "Space 1999"
purists 
should forgive me -- I've never actually seen the show, although I had
the 
lunchbox when I was in first grade.  The local Allied Hobbies has a
model of 
the "Alpha Moonbase" from 1999, and it includes 6 of the "Eagle
Landers"(?). 
  The illustrations on the box are next to useless, and the only
photograph 
is VERY small, but it looks pretty nice.  You get a large flat plane,
with 
some sort of complex sprawling across it and something that appears to
be a 
greenhouse on one edge of the board.  The Eagles look to be tiny -- if
they 
are even an inch long, I'd be surprised.  This might be a useful
beginnings 
for a Full Thrust space station, but it's difficult to say from what
I've 
seen.  Has anyone out there seen an open box?  Or do you know where I
could 
go to see a review?  It's only $16.00, so I'll probably end up buying it
for 
the bits anyway, but it would be nice to know what I'm getting.
