Kallisti Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 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! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrardandrews Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Brilliant model, and liked watching opening credits again. Very grown up, and spooky when 10, and watching UFO, had a real feel to it at the time, about time for a remake. How did the get in those UFO, no door 🚪.😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a surprisingly simple kit in the end, I'm not sure why I was so reticent about starting it for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
