FOCUS ON THE WHITE HAWK MK IX BY SIXTEEN 12

 Some photos I took a while back of the highly detailed White Hawk produced in 2021 by Sixteen 12 Collectables. 

This special edition model appears as it was originally delivered to the studio for the filming  of the Space: 1999 episode, Wargames in 1975.

As it was decided that it's all white look was too much like the Eagle Transporter, it was decided  to paint sections of it orange to differentiate it. 

In my first three photos I scratch- built what I imagined a hangar in the Orbiting Space Dock might look like, with the White Hawk on it's launch cradle.

The actual model itself,  which is limited to 1500 units comes with  it's own  'In -Flight' display stand.

    1. Ha,ha! Red Dwarf borrowed a few ideas in its time, Mish. ; D

      I did originally cobble together the hangar for the Wargames photos, but it does work nicely with other models too.

  3. Amazing photos as usual, but I love love love the hanger set - it immediately evokes the Supermarionation universe! SFZ
