UFO from Gerry Anderson's UFO


Recommended Posts

This is a kit made by Kits for Cash of the UFO from the Gerry Anderson show of the same name. Its purported to be "studio scale" but that simply means its quite large. The original studio props didn't have anything like the same amount of detail in this kit - they were usually quite crude things and the space ship span on its vertical axis as it travelled through space so you didn't actually see any detail until it landed like this:

This picture forms part of the opening credits of the TV show and I can't resist putting them here again as they are just superb...

 

 

So here is the finished model - it was much easier to build than I expected. The resin casting is superb, I could not find a single bubble or imperfection in the castings. Its an expensive kit but IMO worth the money!

Blimey,that was quick :) Great looking UFO.

 

It was a surprisingly simple kit in the end, I'm not sure why I was so reticent about starting it for so long.
