Stage 67
Thunderbird 2
Parts supplied: Tracks, Slider, Pipes x2, Ramp unit, Shaft long, Shaft short.
Join the corners of the last stage’s ramp base to those of this stage’s slider so the corners will meet to form a hinge and insert the longer shaft smooth end first. Then push in the ribbed tip securing the shaft.
Raise the ramp base and move its slide bar down so it meets the tabs. When the hole cut through the bar’s head meets those of the tabs fit the shorter shaft smooth tip first through the holes and press this in all the way. Then check the slider raises and lowers as you pull and push the base’s slide plate.
Glue the ramp unit onto the pins and then glue the pipes in place making sure their orientation is correct. Then line up the assembly to the tracks and noting the orientation of the parts slot the racks into place making sure that it clicks firmly into place and then check that the tracks can slide back and forth along the grooves.
Feed the ramp assembly into Pod 4, unit side first and glue it via its mounting posts to the pod floor. Now check again that the slide plate still raises and lowers the ramp as before and with the ramp raised check the tracks can be extended out over the front hatch.

Stage 70
Thunderbird 2
Parts supplied: Casing A, Casing B, LED holder, LED/cable, Speaker/cable, Screws x2.
Testing the LED
Fetch the battery box used previously and fit its AA batteries. Then making sure the switch is turned off connect up the battery box’s cable to the CON1 socket and the LED’s cable to the CON2 socket. Switch the power on and the LED will light up. Turn the power off and disconnect the cables.
Construction
Slot the LED into its holder and fit the LED into the hole in the casing B so that the LED holder sits on the mounting post next to the hole. Check the LED is seated correctly in the hole and secure the LED holder with a screw.
Now take the LED’s cable and the speakers cable and feed them through the rectangular hole in the side of casing A, entering from the inside. Then holding the LED cable in place move the speaker into the casing A and check from the reverse that the speaker front is seated correctly.
Next gently bend the LED’s cable to about 40 degrees and join the casing B to casing A via its tabs to secure the parts. Finally fit the assembly (LED side first) into the previously assembled booster.
