Why this kit matters

Thunderbird 5 is the largest of the Thunderbird craft, serving as an Earth-orbiting space station that monitors global broadcasts for distress calls. Staffed by only one crew member, usually John Tracy, it's a vital hub for International Rescue. Thunderbird 3 is the rocket that transports personnel to and from Thunderbird 5. Together, they represent the technological marvel of International Rescue and the heroic efforts to save lives.

This model kit allows you to build two iconic vehicles from the world of Thunderbirds. With its motorised rotation and choice of display stands, it offers a dynamic and engaging building experience. Building and displaying this model is a great way to celebrate the classic science fiction of Thunderbirds.
