AOSHIMA THUNDERBIRD 1 EARLY VERSION

It's been fun revisiting the Seaview and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, but I think it's now time to move on. 

Now, what to replace it with? 

I've got the Southport Airshow coming up tomorrow, so when it comes to Airshows, Thunderbirds springs to my mind.

Here's some photos of my Aoshima ( AKA DeAgostini or AIP) Thunderbird 1 kit. 

I've got a couple of examples of the kit, but for this I chose the earlier orientation of the wheeled landing legs for this version , as I prefer it's look, and model doesn't need balancing weights. 

I'll post some photos of the ski landing gear version later.
