Fireflash was such an extraordinarily cool plane design in Thunderbirds. I'm surprised it didn't get the star treatment like Zero-X in its own movie. At the very least Century 21 should have made a toy version. Have there been ANY toys or models of Fireflash?
Our Japanese friends did it again! In the early 2000s Aoshima made a 13 inch long plastic kit (re-released a ccouple of years ago), and there was a small Candy toy by Konami about 3 inches long around the same time. Pics here-

Well, almost! You can do the paint job to more resemble a Fireflash - and, if you "gen up" on model rocketry, you can fly it!
