Why I decided to buy this on ebay I honestly don't know, a throw back to my childhood perhaps, ThunderBirds Are Go ! FAB and all that stuff, the really bad strings and even worse story lines had me coming back for more each week, and now years and years later while checking what's what in 1-350 I actually came across ThunderBird 2.

A scale model you actually build yourself, every body has obviously seen the toys for sale, oh boy they were everywhere at one time, but I have never once seen, or even imagined something like this in 1-350.
Has anyone else heard or seen, possibly even built this kit ?

Oh yes! I have one of these kits too. I was a Thunderbirds fanatic as a kid and I'm still a nostalgic fan. What Gerry Anderson did with models back then still amazes me.
I only have this model, but I'm sure that Imex also makes Thunderbird 1,3,4,and 5.
I've also seen Captain Scarlett, Stingray, Fireball XL - 5, Supercar, and UFO models for sale at shows if you can find them.
Ah yes, the good old days, when children's show characters drank, smoked, and shot each other!
I still can't remember what "F.A.B." stood for though. Anybody recall?
