(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.
