MPC Hawk Part 2
Real-life has been keeping me from any sort of meaningful work on this kit. However, some progress was made this week. I had decided to do my own take on the colour scheme that appeared in the episode called “War Games”. Instead of the orange trim, I would do it in a deep purple colour As the masking can be moderately complex and challenging once the kit is together, I decided to build as many sub-components as possible and mask and paint those sub-components before assembly.

MPC Hawk Inbox Review
Space 1999 was a series produced for 2 seasons in the mid-’70s. The premise was that nuclear waste had been stored on the dark side of the Moon and following a catastrophic explosion the Moon was flung from Earth’s orbit. Each week the inhabitants of Moonbase Alpha discovered new adventures. One of the episodes featured the Hawk MK IX, a fighter version of the Eagle transporter that was featured in many of the other episodes. There were plans to feature more episodes with the Hawk but it never happened. This kit was reissued quite recently and the quality level is much improved over the much older offering. Here is a gallery and video of the contents.
