The box is already a piece of art in itself, measuring a whopping 33 cm high on 60 cm wide... different sets were made, and were hand assembled with different spacecraft and figurines depending on the availability. Mine has 10 figurines and 3 spacecraft.
|
 |
Figurines were stapled to the baseplate (thermovacuumed plastic) and spacecraft were held in place with rubber bands...long perished at this day and age.

 |
Thunderbird 2 - silver version - is located in one of the craters...
|
 |
Parker, Lady Penelope and Brains. The spying at the left, the engineering at the right.
|
 |
...and of course you have the Hood, International Rescue's arch enemy that wants to steal the plans of the Thunderbirds craft and sell them to the highest bidder...
|
 |
| All figurines in my set were hand-painted,,, sometimes using the right colours of the TV show... |
 |
| ...and sometimes not ! |
 |
| The silver UFO is in fact a battery holder. (the old big chunky square ones...) |
 |
| Here seen closed. The battery makes the translucid red star-shaped sattelite in the background blink. Groovy ! |
 |
| Thunderbird 4 got a two-tone paintjob ! |
