That looks great Bob If the jet end of it is hollow could you not put some holes in t he jets and fill the end with something or take the rearend off and fill it that way but still worth 5 stars. Now onto Thunderbird 2 ? ha ha

That is AMAZING , top work Bob !! It looks fantastic , and big too.you should be well chuffed! As Ian says , T2 next? cheers tony p.s. 5 stars from me!

[Guest]

Great job, nicely painted. .... hope you've got somewhere to put it

I'd love to do more scratch builds this size but at the moment the two beds in the spare room are home to a 44inch crabboat and a 40inch SG1 Prometheus (both of which i need to get my mojo back to finish off)

Definitly Thunderbird 2 next Bob !!!

Great work Ian, your T1 looks amazing. T2 maybe, but what about a Thunderbird 6? Now that would be rare.
