| That is very cool. Is that from the old TV show? There were so many cool vehicles, particularly the flying ones. I wonder if those have been done in 1/43? I used to watch that show as a kid, it was kind of like pre-clamation, stop gap animation. |

Yes, that's the one, Mike; Gerry Anderson's creation from the mid 1960's. I think Thunderbirds were a staple diet for all kids back then :o)
This model of F.A.B.1 is the only Thunderbirds piece I have seen in 1/43. It would be very cool to have some of the pod vehicles, too - like the Mole, the Firefly, Thunderbird 4, etc.
Interesting, F.A.B.1 is one only two Rolls Royces ever to have a sloping radiator grille - and the only one to be authorised by Rolls Royce (the other is the Jonckheere Coupé)

Only one in 1/43? Well, what about this very old Dinky Toys?
And, wow! Is this the modern reincarnation of old car?
Would like to see it in 43rd scale too! |
