Building the Space 1999 Mark IX Hawk Part 2

[@centaur1a]

Incredible! Didn't know they put so much details under the ship, even though the ship was on screen for a very short time, plus the underside was never shown too.

This was a terrible resin kit! Hats off for sticking this one out. When I was a kid we had only 2 TV channels and the week's highlight was Space 1999 on sunday. My dad had asked me what I wanted for Christmas and ALL I did was an Eagle. Low and behold he wound up waiting too long to buy the Eagle kit I wanted and bought me two warhawks instead! I was mortified LOL. Now the ship looks really cool. Both kits became part of an 8mm film with them being destroyed. Love your work Sir!

Thanks HG. The seller had very good intentions here to try and make a good quality kit. It wasn't the easiest to work with but the challenge of scratch building made it interesting. Wouldn't want to do another one though. The seller eventually sold the mold to someone else. Maybe they'll eventually make improvements. Thanks again. Great to hear from you.

Amazing considering it was just thrown on as afterthought at the last minute. Because the director didn't realise it was from the same fleet design of ships as the Eagle.

[@InterstellarModeler]

+John Leightell I totally agree. I just can't get enough of Brian Johnson's design. I know that show aired over 30+ yrs ago but the designs are timeless. Thanks for watching.

+Interstellar Modeler Myself included my only regret was giving away four Hawk Airfix kits. Would have loved to have now be a case of Ebay here I come lol. Would have kept a couple of course.

[@InterstellarModeler]

+John Leightell Four Hawk kits! Yeah a shame you didn't hold on to them....I'd probably be one of your buyers Lol. My brother had one and who knows where it ended up.
