Why this kit matters

Thunderbird 2 is one of the most recognisable craft from Gerry and Sylvia Anderson’s Thunderbirds series, first broadcast in the 1960s. Designed as the International Rescue heavy transport aircraft, it carried specialist rescue vehicles in interchangeable pods to disaster zones around the world. Its distinctive green design and VTOL capability made it a standout part of the show’s futuristic rescue fleet.

Thunderbird 4 complements the craft as a compact underwater rescue submersible, typically deployed from Thunderbird 2’s pod system. Together, they represent the modular rescue concept at the heart of the series, where each vehicle was designed for a specific emergency role.

How to use it

Build using paint and glue. Assemble the main airframe, fit Thunderbird 4 into the pod, and choose either flight or ground display configuration. Once complete, it works well as a centrepiece in any sci-fi or TV model collection.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
