Hi Chris, not sure about the scale, but it will stand around the same high as Thunderbird 1 at 20cm.

Seeing these has raised a faint memory - wasn't there a giveaway, with breakfast cereal - collect so many tokens & get a Thunderbird model? Or are the grey cells beginning to imagine things!

YOU ARE not imagine things! Dave as i remember they did quite a few models from breakfast cereals in the 60's but they were card models as i used to collect them an then when i got the card model made a complete hash up of building it but then this is when i was about 10yrs old an i made them crash an burn as i set fire to them been watching programs like with exsploshions in them on tv an got carried away lol just as well i dint burn down the house or my mum or dad see me or it would have been a thick ear but i had a lot of fun with them
chris
It was just seeing Thunderbird 3 that did it - I can remember it being all in red plastic & stood about 4" high ( that was before I went metric )................

OOOOOOOOOh I remember them!
Weirdly, I don’t remember sugar smacks?
This one has the effect of flames coming from the rockets, when you lift it from the standing position. I think I’ll add them to this.
As you can see plenty of cleaning up to do.

F.A.B. Ian…
feel old now cos i remember them......an auntie would save them for me for when i visited
probably be a huge health and safety risk these days (read huge risk of paying compensation if little johnny stuffs it up his nose or eats it without realising its a totally different colour and texture to the cereal)
Finally got some painting done.
