Just picked up the 15" 1/48 Space 1999 Hawk Mk IX Interceptor. Looks to be a very nice kit. Pleasantly surprised at the details, nice heavy plastic. I really wanted a big one of these, and this is the largest I could afford, so far it's well worth the money. Plus I bought it straight from the Gerry Anderson site, as it was cheaper than anywhere else. Thinking about scratching a cockpit interior for it, although in the show it didn't have one. Not sure what version I'll do, pre production, from the episode, or a custom version. But it'll be a fun build.

Looks cool!

That's it for today, just basic construction of engine rocket boosters, sponson rockets and painted the inside black, can't be bothered to scratch an interior this time, I'll tint the windows yellow, for a moody 70s look.

Count me in.

Where I'm at so far, added the cockpit glass, slightly tinted. I'm painting anti flash black around the cockpit windows, as this seems logical.

That's me done for today, built and painted the Hawk's Nuclear reactor chamber and main booster rocket.

I lied, oddly for me I'm a bit addicted to this one. Fun so far, but now I need a break, not bothered about the obvious seam lines down the lower fuel tanks, as they get covered up by the pannier sponson booster rockets. more tomorrow.

Paintwork is looking good

Thanks for the Like on my attempt at this Ian. Your's is shaping up to be way better than mine was (nothing new there 😁). Looking forward to see how you tackle the curve on the Orange section on the nose.

Added fuel pipework and thruster fuel supply to the underneath, and painted the basic colours for the front of the hull, and the cockpit. I'm painting the anti-glare in front of the cockpit, as without it the pilots would be blind in space, plus I think it looks better. Getting there.

Gorgeous! Did you use any masking at all on the Orange? Or, is your hand so steady to paint those curves that cleanly 😯

Yeah Gareth, just painted it by hand with a brush, same as they did on the filming miniature.
