You consistently manage to find some very interesting kits to build and this was no exception. It looks like its coming together well at this point, and the scratch built panels really do add some nice extra details.
@@InterstellarModeler haha. Have you thought about refurbing it? There’s plenty of spare parts online for them and the pink can be removed with stripper. And no problem, I enjoy your channel very much. Keep it up.
Wow - that is very, very cool! UFO was a favorite of mine from my early childhood, so this is really bringing back fond memories. I can't wait to see how your model turns out. You do outstanding work, sir!
Thank you Dwight. That definitely is part of the fun...resurrecting fond memories of our childhood. I too remember seeing this on TV Sunday afternoons.
Wow, great video and awesome modelling skills! Any of you 'old sweats' in the UK remember the Dinky die cast metal toy of the Interceptor from back in the 1970's? For some reason it was moulded in Green, but a lot of UK Dinky toys from Thunderbirds, UFO, Captain Scarlet etc were moulded in weird colours; I still have a Thunderbird 2 Dinky die cast model moulded in bright Blue, instead of the Green shown in the Thunderbirds show! Thank you Interstellar Modeler for posting this video
You're welcome, I still have my Dinky Interceptor but unfortunately painted it to make it look more like the ship on TV. I should have left it alone. I'll definitely try and strip the model paint off someday. Thanks for your compliment.
U do such amazing work! This was my favorite show back in Jr High. Havnt found these models I'll have to do another search. Can't wait to see it done!!!
What Polar Lights lighting are you referring to? The one major kit that I've built from Polar Lights is the 350 scale TOS Enterprise and I did use their lighting kit. I actually launched this channel with that build. I would love to build some of their other 350 scale ships such as the upcoming K'Tinga class ship but just no room. Thanks for watching.
On the basis of the UFO Shado classical tv series was created a computer game UFO2Extraterrestrials that hosts interceptors, skyrangers, personal armors, mind probes, alien interrogations and many others. There anyone can intercept UFOs, take trooper on missions or interrogate aliens. It is worth playing especially if you grew up on the UFO Shado. store.steampowered.com/app/1049850/UFO2_Extraterrestrials/
After the missile were shot, and if they either had enough fuel for the round trip back to base. The Interceptors had lasers. Again they had only one shot before letting the UFO go toward its destination and before the interceptors ran out of fuel too. That is why there are three grooves in front of the cockpit. It was shown once or twice during the whole seasons. Never could understand why they had back wings, since they don't go through atmosphere. Maybe just for looks... Have you tried to play with the aperture or f-stop on the camera for a test shots?

I would never imagined more than 50 years later after this series was televised I would be watching a vid like this 👍🇳🇿
Thanks….yes it’s incredible how These Gerry Anderson shows continue to be of interest to many fans even after all these years.
Anything 60s, 70s tv related and you’ve got me!
i love when you really dig into these old kits and make them special.
Thanks Rob. This is a fun project for sure

Thank you, appreciate your kind comment. Yeah I just got lucky with this one. Finding it on Ebay cheap too was a stroke of luck too.
I got one of the Dinky ones for xmas as a kid. Happiest day of my life and I have lived haha.
I actually still have mine although I unfortunately gave it a coat of paint as a kid, thx for watching

@@InterstellarModeler I just bought one one Ebay that I am planning on re painting it to be screen accurate.

Thank you....really appreciate your kind compliment. Yes...these models aren't easy to find. I just got lucky with this one.
Amazing work! But now thanks to you I can' t get that old UFO theme music out of my head....
LOL....thanks for watching....and hopefully you can't the miniskirts out of your head either :)
I’ve had it as a ringtone for the last 4 years ☺️
Excellent work O. Always love watching and seeing what you are up to.
Thanks Kenny. This is definitely a fun project.
Awesome topic, one of my favorite ships and shows. Looking forward to next episode!
Dale Maeshiro thanks.
Great work on the pilot figure. Your work is always inspirational.
Thank you
Never seen this kit before. Nice. Dan
Yep it's an old one for sure. You can occasionally find them on Ebay. Thanks for watching
Awesome work as always!
Thank you
Awesome!!!!! Great channel! Subbed!
thank you for the nice comment
I never understood that one nose missile design either. Great video/
Looks to me like some of the inspiration for the BG Colonial Viper.
Outstanding work can't wait to see part 2.
Thank you
Great work bro! Im getting ready to scratch-built this kit from foam
Thank you...wow scratch built. Would love to see it when done. Send a pic to interstellarmodeler@gmail
@@InterstellarModeler Your welcome and I will brother.
9:00 woo hoo!
Fantastic modding, of a good model. Can you do one with _Polar Lights_ lighting too?

Actually any custom lighting, @@InterstellarModeler. Polar Lights or scratch built.
Check out some of my other builds....many of them have custom lighting. Most recently I did the Starfleet Runabout...all custom lit.

Very interesting. I was wondering what those indentations were at the front of the ship. Thanks for the info.
Actually, they were guns, they shot bullets.
I don't think that A4 pilot is available anymore.
What if there were 4 UFO's?
They’d be screwed for sure
I never understood why the incoming UFOs never fired at the interceptors.
The UFO had to slow down to enter the atmosphere then SkyDiver took them out.
