Thunderbirds Zero-X

The upper lifting body's wing tips were hinged down for take off, with the pods on the ends of both lifting bodies housing part of the undercarriage. I looked into hinging the wing tips but at this scale all of the hinges were too big, so instead I have rearranged the build so that there is an option for setting the undercarriage up or down. There are only a few pieces which need to be changed to swap between the two options.

To escort Zero-X off on its mission to Mars, chase down the saboteur and rescue the crew I have added Thunderbirds three and one to the set, there is even a scale FAB1 (OK I admit its a pink rollerskate). The idea may not be gathering a lot of support so far but I am really pleased that some people have enjoyed this blast from the past. (Click below for a larger version of the image)
