"Model Spy" is the 14th episode of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, a British 1960s Supermarionation television series co-created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Written by Bill Hedley and directed by Ken Turner, it was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 29 December 1967 on ATV Midlands.
In this episode, when the Mysterons vow to assassinate a French intelligence agent posing as a fashion designer, Captains Scarlet and Blue and Destiny and Symphony Angels go undercover to protect the target.
The Mysterons plan to assassinate André Verdain. Publicly, Verdain is a fashion designer; privately, he is the Controller of the European Area Intelligence Service in Paris. Colonel White, who suspects that the attempt on the Frenchman's life will most likely be made during a fashion show that he will be hosting in Monte Carlo, assigns Captains Scarlet and Blue and Destiny and Symphony Angels to protect the target. The agents will operate undercover, with Scarlet posing as a PR officer, Blue a photographer, and Destiny and Symphony models employed by the House of Verdain.
