The models on Thunderbirds are what got me into the modelling hobby

[AndrewR]

Decals on TB-2. Quite straightforward, and problem free.



Warm water needed, otherwise the soaking time is a bit long.



The white decals are impressively opaque. The thick yellow stripe also looks pretty solid.



Cheers

Yep, I remember these babies from the b/w TV series in the 60's.
You're doing superb work on this model.

[Clashcityrocker]

A win with those decals. Your windows look good too.

Now she looks the biz. Not that she didn't before but those markings really set her up nicely.

[ShaunW]

Excellent, that really looks the business.

Excellent progress Andrew of one of my favourite Gerry Anderson creations/Mike Trim designs?

You're also killing me with guilt as well as I've had this languishing in the stash for too many years now and may well have to take inspiration from your build to get this one across the finishing line (albeit supported on little orange buggies!)...

Fireflash! Excellent.

That moment when you realise that the Thunderbird 4 decal sheet doesn't include the thin red stripes.



So out comes the red paint for the engines...



And then a big "Thank You" to my Secret Santa because the Caproni kit included Royal Yugoslav Airforce decals with thin red stripes.



Which makes life a lot easier...



The other decals are no problem, but the numerals on the fin are far too large, so I omitted them.



That was a bit tricky because there are lots of decals close together on a very small model!

Wow - that IS small. Well done.

My goodness that Thunderbird 4 is a serious eyesight test. Well done with it!

Most decals per square centimetre I've ever had to do.

And I left 2 decals off

Does it not have PE door handles?

Cor that's tiny! Well done on this one. When I get paid next month I think one of these kits may end up winging it's over to my neck of the woods. This build really has made me want one!
