Fantastic build looking forward to the finished product

HI Ant you wont see the finished product as this chap is no longer on this site an i built a big 4 ft model of it if you would like to see it then say so as it was all finished in its proper colours an i will see if i can find up the pic of me holding it as it was quite a big an heavy model an fireball junior came off an on by a screw top system an it had all the landing legs in both crafts an a set of steps came down out of the main body an i really enjoyed bulding it an i may be able to find up some pics of my build of it an
FIREBALL XL5 took me about six months to build an i remember watching the program on our old monocrome tv back in the 60's as it was a sunday afternoon on at 4pm an i was an still am hooked on this spacecraft an did you see it on tv for the first time ? or was it before your time ?
