I know we on this forum have shown a lot of love for the idea of a 1/8 FAB 1, but what about the other series?

Joe 90 - 1/8 "Mac's car". Very unusual design, could include movable wings and landing gear.

Captain Scarlet - 1/8 SPV. Very iconic design, full interior plus possible gadgets.

Secret Service - 1/8 Rev. Unwin's Model T. Classic design, would appeal to classic car collectors not just SF appreciators.

Terrahawks - RC Battletank. Not only would a lot of the internals such as motors and electronics be easy to pull straight from the T-72, It would be a wonderful addition from that show.

Or of course - Supercar!

All interesting I agree, but I can imagine they are a bit 'too' limited in appeal to become part work.

Thunderbirds is known and revered globally, as is FAB 1.
I'm pretty sure a 1/8 FAB 1 with internal detail as Graham Bleathman drew it would be a big hit in Japan where TB'S is held in almost holy admiration.

If it succeeded, who knows - it could even hit the UK one day.

That would be a nice thought, although I believe other concerns would halt that one.

Although I have no proof, I believe it to be at least as big as the Batmobile, so we're talking around 75cm long for a 1/8th scale model. In fact, almost all of my 'suggestions' suffer from that flaw.

But a Model T, or a Battletank, would be instant subs for me - unless I decide to wqait and get the full kit, of course.
