Ported to OBJ from the Poser model converted by daniel181, and apparently based on the old MPC plastic model kit. Preview picture posed in XNALara XPS. You can download the Poser original at the link below, although a ShareCG membership is required and you'll have to port it yourself.:

SketchUp artist Steve Gillow also has a respectable Hawk model of his own, although the quality is noticeably lower than the Poser version. It's an easier port all the same and you can get it from Google's 3D Warehouse, although you'll also have to port it yourself.

Pack 3D also has a very good Hawk model originally made for the Kerbal Space Program.

This is only seen one time in the entire course of the series in the acclaimed first episode "War Games," when a trio of them pop up virtually out of nowhere and commence an attack run on Moonbase Alpha. One of them slips through a spirited but lopsided defense by Alpha's slower and less maneuverable Eagles and proceeds to lay waste to Alpha with what appears to be a high-power gatling laser before it leaves. Others are seen escorting the big "bomber" spacecraft that appears to finish the job on Alpha later in the episode, and they are in turn presumably destroyed when it gets destroyed. This appears to be armed with missiles and other weaponry, although none of this gets used in the episode save for the gatling laser. They are identified as Mark IX Hawks by Professor Bergman at the start of the episode and it is implied that this is the latest and greatest Earth built space combatant available. If you want to know why they attack Alpha you either have to look it up or watch the episode. I recommend the later, as it's widely regarded as one of the best episodes in the series (although it gets a bit preachy near the end). Many SPACE:1999 fans have conjectured that this was the eventual replacement for the older SHADO Interceptors, given the known connections between SPACE:1999 and the earlier U.F.O. television series. All of that is of course non-canon but it's still a lot of fun to read and perhaps even to use in your own stuff.

Fellow dA member Adrasil has an excellent gallery of his own SPACE:1999 related efforts that includes (among other things) very nice schematics of the Mark IX Hawk. Here's a link:

ASIDE - In my younger days I once conceived of what I called the Falcon for a fan-produced virtual third season of SPACE:1999. This would have been patterned on the Hawk but built with a combination of parts scavenged from wrecked Eagles (and there were a lot of them through the show) and reverse-engineered alien technology. SPACE:1999 was cancelled before the idea of Alpha doing anything with the various examples of recovered Earth technology (the Swift from "Brian the Brain," et al) and the various alien technologies it was slowly but surely acquiring as the series continued could be implemented in any form. The eventual release of the officially approved fan-produced capstone to the series, "Message from Moonbase Alpha," pretty much ended any plans I had for taking Falcon any further. I'm not going to do anything with the Falcon concept given that and my advanced age, but perhaps one of you younger and newer SPACE:1999 fans might want to take the idea and run with it for all that it's worth. You have my permission to do so, and it'll be interesting to see what you might come up with regards to Falcon. -_^
