Hi,
From maxsmodels, here is a collection of viewer build models.
The most interesting start at 14:57, with several examples of Thunderbird 2 from the recent Thunderbirds Are Go series, that have been repainted.
First up, one in overall white, with Royal Australian Air Force markings and a pod carrying the UN flag. Apart from the incorrectly positioned wing roundels (the feet should be facing inwards, not outwards), this is really nice.
More examples follow: one in Canadian Rescue markings; WW2 RAF, one in pink with two girls standing on top - no idea what this is about; US Navy Blue Angels aerobatic team support aircraft - they usually have a C-130 Hercules; WW2 Luftwaffe in desert camouflage disgorging a Tiger I tank; one which seems to have had an engine fire; a Star Wars version; WW2 US Navy with lots of guns; a Full Stack shuttle version; US Coast Guard; and US Marine Corps air ambulance.
Followed by several other SF models, some in RAF markings. Also the Orion from 2001 in British Airways colours. Great fun.
Have you anything like this?

Fascinating Paul. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why exactly, but seeing Thunderbird 2 in non-authentic colors seems like sacrilege to me! It will always be that magnificent green to me...
