Well, unsurprisingly we have posted about this in the past, but here's a reminder of those differences between the actual models.
The Captain Scarlet version comes with a poster of the original box art work by Shigeru Komatsuzaki of the large Zero X kit made by Imai in 1967.
The Thunderbird version has a little rock snake curled up on a little rock.
The Captain Scarlet MEV has 'Martian Exploration Vehicle 'on the side of it's hull, as seen in the first Captain Scarlet episode.
The Thunderbird version has a hatch on top which has a flick up machine gun , as it did in the feature film.
Finally, here's both versions side by side. The Captain Scarlet version is an ever so slightly lighter shade of blue.
I seem to remember my Thunderbirds Aoshima Zero-X has a red top to the ejection pod...

That's a self adhesive sticker that comes with both, Jim.

The Thunderbirds ZERO X indeed is suposed to have a RED-topped ejection capsule
ReplyDeleteI never doubted that for a moment, Anonymous , but I repeat, the Aoshima Thunderbird and Captain Scarlet versions of Zero X BOTH come with a RED self adhesive sticker , which I've already mentioned. You might have missed this, but the title of the post is 'What's the difference!' .
