Choosing your Thunderbirds model

Start with a rescue role
Choose the machine that made the strongest impression: Thunderbird 2’s equipment-carrying pod, Thunderbird 3’s rocket form or Thunderbird 4’s underwater rescue role. FAB 1 and The Mole broaden the fleet with road and tunnelling subjects.
Pick a kit or finished model
Aoshima The Mole No.6 offers an Intermediate plastic construction and painting project. Corgi diecast and Anderson Originals ABS models arrive painted, ready for routine setup and display.
Build a coordinated collection
