From Paul at Paragrafix

I have just received confirmation from Brian Johnson that I am licensed to produce his concept Space 1999 Mk IX Hawk cockpit for Round 2’s upcoming kit in 1/48 scale.

I only viewed the kit briefly at Wonderfest so actual design work will have to wait until it’s released and proper measurements can be made.

Still enjoying your podcast very much. Part 1 of the interview with Jonathan Mock was excellent, and am waiting for Part 2. I read Mr. Mock’s column in Model Airplane International, and it is always interesting and full of great insights. 

I fully agree with what he said about the people saying the “hobby is dying”. What nonsense! Each month kits appear that we would not have dreamed of 20 years ago. The hobby may be changing direction. Gone are the days when kits could be purchased for pocket change, and maybe as the Baby Boom generation ages out, we will see an end to the flood of German armor, Mustangs and Spitfires. For a generation brought up on Star Wars we will see a lot more sci fi models. And that is okay. The older kits will still be here, and new genres will bring in new modelers. It is all good.

We want to hear from you! Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions [email protected].
