Handling batteries
Incorrect use of dry cell batteries may result in fire, battery rupture, or leakage. Take care of the following points:
• Batteries contain inflammable substances such as lithum and organic solvents. Do not attempt to recharge, short,
disassemble, modify, heat, or place batteries in a fire.
• When disposing of batteries or storing them, isolate the terminals by covering them with tape.
• Be sure to correctly match the battery plus and minus polarities.
• When storing batteries, avoid locations that are subject to direct sunlight, high temperature and/or high humidity.
• If liquid has leaked from a battery and gets into your eye, immediately wash your eye with copious amounts of
water and seek medical advice. If battery liquid gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off with water.
• Store batteries out of reach of children.
• Dispose of used batteries safely at your local recycling centre.

Paint colour references:
We recommend using the following Humbrol paint colours:
(Paints not included)
The original Thunderbirds television series was produced in a time before
CGI and computers. Skilled model makers and technicians created several
models in varying scales depending on the shot required in the storyline.
This coupled with camera lighting from different angles means the various
craft do appear to be different colours in certain scenes. The paint codes
provided are a basic guide and we would suggest watching the episodes
and referring to the box photo for further detailed information.
