This was such a strange show. Amazing that it developed into Space 1999.

It was just good fortune that I got THIS one! I've wanted a model of this for decades - didn't even know ther WAS a model. This popped up when was browsing EBay around 2016.
P.S. The entire 26 episode season of UFO is available on Youtube

Skyhiker. Interesting story behind that (from Gerry Anderson himself). Gerry needed backing from a U.S Network in order to make season 2 of UFO. But the network executive wasn't interested. Apparently he was fed up with all the Earth based science fiction series being peddled. Gerry persisted, until finally the executive said he would ONLY produce the show if it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Earth. When Gerry suggested that they base the entire series on the moon and didn't do any Earth based scenes, that STILL wasn't good enough. Then Gerry suggested that in the pilot, they have an accident on the moon that blows the Moon out of Earths orbit, the executive finally relented, and Space 1999 was born.
