FIREFLASH FINISH

Hi

Just finished this Aoshima kit of the Fireflash. I like the model but it was tricky to paint!

Take care,

LEGO FIREFLASH

Hey Woodsy,

Not sure how big into Lego you are, but I'm a Lego Ideas member and this came across my inbox

Some misinformation in the description but not too bad of a build, especially the elevator cars. This is just a proposed kit. If it gets enough backers, it gets further review base don licensing and costs etc. Most kits don't get produced for one reason or another.

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO : FIREFLASH

Another brief rundown of the latest Thunderbirds are Go episode without giving too much away.
As the title suggests, the Fireflash is the featured aircraft,  and the plot takes elements from the original Thunderbirds story, Trapped in the Sky.
Out of all the episodes so far, I enjoyed this the most, although unlike the original series, I really don't get that feature film feel from it. It's still a glossy  cartoon to me.
I'm still not conformable with the  producers  insisting  on filming the models as models,  particularly from above  which constantly upsets the willing suspension of disbelief, although, to be fair  there are the occasional  nice shots too.
The high point for me, though  was hearing some of  Barry Gray's original incidental music during the episode.
