THUNDERBIRD 2 from the 1965 TV Series ‘THUNDERBIRDS’ created by Gerry Anderson

Thunderbird 2 is part of the International Rescue organisation and is the high speed heavy rescue aircraft. the detachable pod carries specialsied rescue equipment.

This would make a fantastic model kit. In 1/144nd scale it would be approx 21 inches (52cm) long and would come with interior cockpit detail and Virgil Tracy pilot figure. Interior detail in the Pod, and optional rescue gear in the nose bay. Additional pod vehicles would be available as small ‘Series 1’ kits.

This artwork could show the aircraft with the pod deployed, but I wanted to show how beautiful and awesome the aircraft is in flight.
