I've only ever seen the SkyDiver sub/interceptor as a model kit. I
only ever saw diecast Interceptors, Straker's Car, and the Mobile Unit
2.

Of plastic models, SkyDiver and the Hawk, which was VERY rare, and at
the time sold as a Space:1999 toy, since it appeared in that one
"Space" episode.

Another interesting thing is that the Eagle One diecast had the same
green for the body and transport pod and orange landing gear as the
UFO Interceptors. Methinks somebody at the toy factory got a good
deal that year on green paint and orange plastic.
