Dave, you missed Space 1999 (Eagle transporters!) between UFO and Terrahawks. And then there's Space Precinct (best, theme, ever!), which has never had any kits made from it, though it would only be flying cop car

Wait, Ian, you took out the wing working feature!? Noo! BTW, does the kit contain the very spindly undercarriage in the kit?

Hmm, now I have to build my Fireflash - yes, the most dangerous airliner ever flown...
Chris,
Space 1999! - I'd forgotten about that, I suppose because it was live actors!!

Hmmm - stop motion/cgi, and only Gerry Anderson? I wouldn't count any series as a genuine part of the genre really, unless you can see the strings!!!! :tongue-out2: Sorry UFO, Space 1999 & Space Precinct fans!
Dave

Done some more work on this. Got sink holes filled and sanded, also cut the wings and made the panels for the landing legs.

Thinking of how the rocket section fits to the main body, I’m going to get rid of the 2 lugs that stick out, so I can glue the body together and get it all sorted and painted. Then I can just but the rocket section too it at the end.

Man this is nostalgia on steroids I go as far back as Stingray and always mimicked the way the characters walked with shaking heads.:tears-of-joy: There's one kit of TB1 in our LHS just waiting to be bought.

Cheers,
Richard
