SNAFU Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 (edited) Almost 20 years ago I build a Bandai Thunderbird 1, scale unknown but smaller than 1/72. I think around 1/82. I have scratch build the landing gear from copper wire and plastic rod. I airbrushed it with different metallic airbrush paint from Testors, It was my first TB I have build. Gerhard And refurbished a Matchbox (I think, scale about 1/72)) toy thunderbird to something you can look at. it was a good case to test the metallic paints( Testors), the letters are from ''dry transfers'' (lot of work to do it straight in one good line) Also make a old Airfix Saab Draken in to a Red Arrow from the episode ''Edge of Impact''. And a old Monogram VooDoo F-101 (scale unknown) as a UN Fighter from the episode ''The Imposters'' Edited January 1, 2019 by SNAFU 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV908 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Genuinely some of the nicest and most interesting builds i’ve ever seen, especially the Draken / Red Arrow I’d love to see someone tackle a Fireflash in the same-ish scale though!

Mancunian airman Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 What young boys imagination was not fired up by the Thunderbirds series ?? Aircraft vehicles and scenery . . . great sets and realism. Love the models you have presented for us Gerhard, thanks for the memory. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
