Holy crap! I thought I was a Space:1999 fan...You sir are truly an Uber fan, and an engineering genius..What you have there is quite simply the finest example of model making I have seen compared to the actual studio models. ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR❗️My mind is truly blown?⁉️

That's amazing! So impressive model making in so big scale. But why you made two?

Same! If I weren't so awful at model making, I'd ask for some blueprints and take a shot at it myself!

Thanks for all your comments guys - much appreciated. I made a second one because I sold the first to a good friend. I only got the two models together for a few days when he brought the first one back for a clean and some minor repairs. I'm making another one right now as I love the ship so much. I am lucky enough to know the owners of the original studio models so have got an immense library of reference photos and measurements to be able to recreate these, as well as buying some of the more complicated parts from other enthusiasts who make detailed copies - such as the command module on the front and the turned engine bells - but they take a few years each in hobby time as you will imagine.

You're The Man Chris! with all things Space: 1999! There is none more knowledgeable then you. Please, for Pete's sake, show some of your work and pass your knowledge on to us mere mortals ??

When I was a kid, I had a toy eagle that was about 4' long - seems similar size to this.

David - I have just uploaded a whole album of pics of the original studio Hawk model which will help any builders out there....
