So I wasn't sure whether to put this in the automotive forum, the sci fi forum so I picked the finished build forum.
This was made from an UNCL resin kit. I hollowed out the cab and scratchbuilt the interior.

This car appeared in the episode where the fireflash had a nuclear bomb in its gear bay and Virgil drove the master elevator car and two remote controlled cars to act as the landing gear.Classic Thunderbirds.

I am rally surprised that I also remember this episode, strange what you remember with visual reminders.

Looks like you have done a great job with it, it looks fantastic

A joy to see. I am a big fan of all things "Gerry Anderson" and Thunderbirds is one of my all time favourites.

You have made a brilliant job of this build and I must say what an unusual subject for a manufacturer to produce as its not one of the vehicles that would immediately spring to mind when you think of this series.

Look forward to seeing your "3" - should be another great build.

Happy Modelling

BUILDING: Hachette Spitfire Mk 1A, Constructo Mayflower
SUBSCRIPTION COMPLETE (Awaiting building): USS Constitution, Sovereign of the Seas, 1:200 Bismarck (Hachette)
COMPLETED: Porsche 911, E-Type Jaguar, Lam Countach
