Paul J Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I Love it!!!! Amazing idea at the time with seating in the wing ( a la Junkers G36 I think) and the double decker arrangement ... and supersonic ... or more too! Never knew a kit of this was around. One could do wonders with what if schemes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimme Shelter Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 wow - just so very Thunderbirdish. A beautifully presented and superbly photographed monumental vehicle from the better days of Slough's Trading Estate. I still have my old vinyl 33rpm Thunderbirds record of this episode - or should I say the very first ever Thunderbird episode F.A.B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 That's a lovely job enhanced by brilliant photography - the colours seem to have an authentically vintage touch to them. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony C Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Ahhh, watching Thunderbirds, building a Lego Fireflash, losing my temper because the tail kept failing off, gasping when one of the rescue trolleys loses control, tyres bursting, Virgil sweating, seems like only yesterday String? What string.... You'll be telling me next that nobody else walked like that Edited October 30, 2017 by Tony C 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Oh! I remember that episode. Of course, I had no idea what the colours were on the show because way back then it was Black & White TV only. You're models look beautiful, Alain. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrardandrews Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Brilliant model and great Thunderbirds episode, the first, and maybe the best. one 8 year old loved every minute, shame, no Videos back then, I'm sure, Thunderbirds was the first show in colour on ITV😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and the first thing you did was unwrap it carefully so you could ask her the question after (occasionly you'd get a Wagon Wheel and it'd take most of the episode to eat it when they were the size of a saucer)...

Kallisti Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Very nice, its a lovely kit just needs something inserted into the wing which is a shame they don't provide anything considering what they DO provide in the kit! I built this kit last year to portray the OTHER episode Fireflash appeared in when it sank in the ocean and Thunderbird 4 had to come to the rescue I scratch built seating lounges for the wings just out of some plastic strip More in my build thread here: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235007659-aoshima-fireflash-and-thunderbird-4-diorama/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertF Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Nice job, Colossus! Which paint did you use for the very light blueish white (or whitish blue)? Or did you make yor own mixture? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossusfr Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi everyone, Thanks a lot for all your comments. For the light blue, I tried different colours. The one indicated in the notice is too blue for me. After different tries, I used AKAN 73034 Pale Blue (the one for Sukhoi Su30) . Alain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one does wonder where they based that colour "advice" on... watching the episodes involving FireFlash through a blue filter perhaps. Thanks for your reply, I'll go with the Pale Blue!

Dan Griffin Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi, can I ask what paint shades you used, I built mine years ago, primed it and have stalled as I couldn't find the correct shades of paint. any help would be great, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colossusfr Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 For the pale blue, and acteur many tries, I used the AKAN 73034 Pale Blue. And for the dark blue, it was the Gunze H322. Alain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
