saturnapollo Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Frank Bellamy illustrated TV21 Talons of the Eagle story using the RTL2 featured in the Thunderbirds episide The Cham Cham. Bellamy's dynamic style well illustrated the RTL2 a favourite guest vehicle of mine. Many, many years ago I scratchbuilt it, based around two Ariane V boosters. So no scale in mind. With the re-released Aoshima TB kits, it occurred to me that the 1/350 scale TB2 might be compatible with the RTL2. Suprisingly they matched the Bellamy artwork virtually exactly. So adapted a pod and scratchbuilt the Bellamy grab. Here are the photos. 28 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rms77 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Really nice. Always been a fan of the RTL2 design and this is a lovely scratch build of it. Great job on Thunderbirds 1 and 2 as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in Lincs Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Incredible pictures and models. I'm really impressed. I too was always a fan of the RTL2. Shame we never got a kit of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturnapollo Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 Thanks very much everyone. Glad you like them. Thought I'd try one with the small scale Aoshima diecast Zero X (with a bit of Photoshopping to hide the obvious diecast origin) in the same sort of vein. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertie McBoatface Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 That's very impressive. I can't tell what's model and what is photoshop. I guess that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
