THE AOSHIMA THUNDERBIRD 3 LAUNCH BAY

Hi,

Managed to get the Aoshima kit of the Thunderbird 3 launch bay. 

Once more I needed to replace a load of bits and add a load of bits, but it looks nice on display.

Taking off now,

This one hasn't been re-released by AIP like TB1 and TB2 have. Still, I've completed the set!

  3. Thank you. Everything from just above the lights was printed cardboard, so I replaced it with plasticard. The grilles were pieces of plastic grid that is meant for sewing projects. The lines were striping tape. I also made a roof as it doesn't come with one.

  4. Hi Kevin, these are fantastic renditions! They look like they could have been taken on the actual sets for a TV21 photoshoot.

    FAB.
