It's lucky for me that you uploaded this video tonight. I had today off work, and if I saw this yesterday I'd have been in the car driving down to your shop right after dropping my son off at school!

I built the old Airfix hawk kit many years ago. This kit is a whole load better, and a lot more accurate.

I have a couple of these and haven’t had a chance to open them up and take a look at them. Thanks for saving me some time and letting me see what’s inside..lol...I’m looking forward to building these and the eagle I have.

This is STILL an excellent Sci-fi ship design, right up there with Ron Cobb's Gunstar. I would love to see a larger scale accurate Hawk Mk.IX, did not know the older kits were off.

You are so right! For a low budget 70’s tv show, Space 1999 had some of the best ships and sets. The old Battlestar Galactica wasn’t too bad, either.

That is really cool! I'm a massive fan of Gerry Anderson's series (as you can guess by my avatar). My absolute favourite is UFO. I would dearly love model kits from UFO, like the Interceptor, Skyone and especially the Shado Mobiles!

Think we need to see the full build. It's a shame MPC did not include the internal of the flight deck. That would have been nice. Overall it looks a nice kit, the downside for me though is the size and costing, which is a bit of a shame considering the show was a UK production and the kits are based in the states. I'm just about to start a build of the Eagle which will be a full resin build, as the challenge of deatail is far greater than injection molded kits, on a side note the larger 1/48 kit I look forward to if you decide to go ahead with that project but don't relish the price. Keep up the good content, loving the channel x

You may prefer the Hark, but the Eagle is more of a challenge. Found the Hark way to easy but does make a great model.

I think the Eagle is a great ship, but I had the Dinky one as a child, so the Hawk fell into that "desirable but unobtainable" bucket...

A very interesting unboxing review, I'll be very interested to see a build up of this kit. I was born the same year that England won the cup, which put me at the perfect age to enjoy the series, and places me at the less perfect age of 'past it' now. I had a huge crisis of confidence when COVID turned life upside down and suddenly my home had to double up as my office. It resulted in feeling like hobbying at home was sciving, and I stopped modelling. I've tried picking the hobby back up a few times by revisiting 'the stash', but that feeling of guilt still remains... I suspect some underlying mental health issues are still unresolved. The kits that I bought in earlier times just don't engage my enthusiasm now, so I procrastinate, and do nothing. I watched this video from a fondness for the series rather than any expectation of enthusiasm for the hobby... but it does look like a kit that I'd enjoy building. So yeah... I'll be very interested to see a build video. It might rekindle an enthusiasm for a hobby that I used to love, and if it does lead to me buying and building this kit, maybe it'll be a turning point towards finding more peace and tranquility in my life. I doubt you thought this video might change someone's life for the better when you made it... you just never know do you. Thank you my friend who I've never met! (If I do re_engage I might even get some paint on that Airfix Firefly, I said you'd finish yours first didn't I!)

Big fan of the show here - I re watched every episode just about 4 years ago 🙂I've built the Eagle in maybe '77 or '78; I can't recall what brand or scale it was, but it was quite large (for a child's hands that is). And a buddy of mine had metal toy versions of three different Eagles - I think they were made by Corgi (?) - do you remember them?

I do! I had the standard Eagle transporter, (they were by Dinky) which for some reason was a metallic green....I always wanted the nuclear waste carrying version, but never got it!

Don’t normally do aircraft models but this is very tempting. And 1/72 is the perfect scale for use in wargaming. At £40 though, it’s a hard pass for me.
