Space 1999 MK IX Hawk

Kewel, I was just curious about the manufacturer. 

Personally, I don't much care of it's a licensed kit or not.  The majority of the GKM kits that have been made aren't licensed.  Most of us don't have the capability to do a decent job of scratchbuilding those things we'd most like, so rely on someone else to give us a nice replica.  We wouldn't have anywhere nearly as many kewel models to look at here if it weren't for "illegal" resin kits - to include conversion or accurizing pieces/parts.

Griffworks, it was manufactured by AB models a couple of years ago, only about 25 were built or there abouts. As far as I know it was licensed.

"He's" right,...???

 Why do you refere to Adama 47 as "He" in this thread but in the Klingon D7 Decal thread you refere to him as yourself???

Are you having difficulty remembering who you are?

I've always been a closet fan of Space:1999, but always enjoy a good buildup.  You're doing an awesome job on this one.  What manufacturer is this from?

Yes Colin scratchbuilding was easier, and probably cheaper and quicker in the long run.

I noticed from your article that you spent about £200 give or take, I spent £250 on a box of crap.

Thanks Colin, have worked out the display, done it years ago when i started. I going to mount it on a long base, about 25 inches long. I'm going to mount the hawk to the base then make the whole thing wall mountable.

I've been filling gaps for a couple of days now, it's a real pain. Because the parts are puddlecast they do not form proper round parts. I had to shim these problems with plasticard. This I super glued to the resin on each side, then glued shims until the parts looked proper round, then glued together. it then took alot of filing and sanding.

heres a few shots they are also over on eagletranspoter.com

Thanks for looking,

Regards,

Terry Burke.

Wow, Colin M Taylor, thanks for even replying, I've been using your article in Sci- Fi fantasy the Space 1999 special as reference, great build, it was great piece of work. I've been a fan of that build for a long time.

Regards,

Terry.

Terry
