Calling all model kit fans - she's finally done

[classic33]

My latest acquisition, T2's nearly a foot long.

Wasn't the Mole in pod two?

 

[MontyVeda]

Sadly, I have to agree. Looked fantastic but awfuly dull.
...

There's some cracking episodes!

Thought the Mole was pod 5? Mind you it's a long time ago lol

You were right, Pod 5.

The only thing missing is T3.

You were right, Pod 5.

Just had a quick Google and Thunderbird 2 carried loads of different stuff I never remembered...

I had a small plastic one but it was nowhere near as big as that one!

At last, finally completed!. Just needs a little 'touching up' work with paint and ready for display:

I was just looking at the picture of Thunderbird 2 on the box and thought that the undercarriage legs look very much like telescopic aerials that used to be fitted to transistor radios.

Has that mug been there since the 9th of May?

Thunderbird 1, through to Thunderbird 4

They are, there's two options with it, either metal or plastic legs.

I keep looking at one of those, but I've got a stash that could keep me busy for the next few years already.

Interesting kit, took me two years!. Extremely fiddly frame, bits on landing gear, but it was en vogue in 70's SF to have ships with lots of surface detailing (original 44 inch studio miniature included the Apollo lunar module from airfix kit on it - reproduced on this kit).

Next kit will be easier - Proteus from Fantastic Voyage, a nice smooth hull!.

Seems to have developed a leak. There's brown "spots" on the "Enterprise" below it.
