  3. Don't have a TB5 of any kind and love its 60s retro space station design, so unless it's tiny, it's probably for me.

    1. Hi Mish, I understand that it is going to be about the same size as the Imai model kit. The diameter of the deflector ring is something like 5 inches.

  4. That should be OK.
    It'll just be a question of price.

  5. So happy to see this coming out. Maybe the Fanderson prejudice against Thunderbird 5 has finally died down? Me, I love the darn thing. The happiest day of my life was when I saw the Imai model kit at my local hobby shop in 1968. SFZ
