The escalation in this video was crazy. First I thought, "Oh wow, that's a really nice Thunderbird 2 model." Then, saw that you were also assembling a few vehicle pods. Then saw the electronics, then saw the motors, and THEN aaaaallllll the rest of the pod vehicles. It is crazy-expensive, but that is a highly detailed and engineered model.

Loved watching the original show when I was a kid.

@poshdan1988 4 года назад

I’ve done it. I’ve watched this video at least 10 times over the past month or so when I randomly came across your channel; and I’ve finally spunked out on the kit. Too much nostalgia and the urge to build this to pass onto my kids when they’re old enough is far too great. Thanks for the awesome content. Lost more hours to watching your builds than I’d like to admit 😬

@RevelationSpace 4 года назад

I've spent the last few days trying to talk myself into not buying it but I think I'll probably get it too. They stopped selling it in Japan a couple of months ago - it's only a matter of time before they disappear everywhere else and the price really goes through the roof.

@bobbova8708 6 лет назад

as a 50 something Thunderbirds fan I must say great job on the review and the kit itself.I think Derek Meddings would be very happy with your results!

@tsargoyle 3 года назад

That's really beautiful. Thunderbird 2 was my favorite as a kid and it's nice seeing the weathering attention to detail you've done.

@user-cs4jw9uf8f 4 месяца назад

Very well produced series on this kit. Look forward to more space/science fantasy models in the future!

@mdouglaswray Год назад

Lovely build of one my very favorite science fiction series craft! The weathering was spot-on. SO GOOD.

@davidkreacts 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. I’m not a model builder, but this one is too full of nostalgia for me to ignore, and I grabbed it when it was on a fairly good sale. I appreciate the hints you have put in this build (like scraping off the paint pre-glueing), and look forward to building my own!

@ellesmerewildwood4858 6 лет назад

Huge fan of Thunderbirds but I never knew the pods had rear door. Learn something new everyday. Thoroughly enjoyed the video.

@blackwaterhousecork5182 6 лет назад

Because I Served for almost 30 Years in Emergency Rescue, My Car earned the Nickname of “Thunderbird 1”, because it always arrives First; whilst My 6’ by 4’ Cage Trailer earned the Nickname of “Thunderbird 2”, because it was “the Heavy Lift Body” and always arrived 2nd, behind “Thunderbird 1” and My 4 Wheeled ‘Electric Mobility Scooter’, earned the Nickname of “Pod 3 - the Quad” (because of its 4 Wheels). Coincidentally, My Car, My Trailer and My Electric Mobility Scooter are all varying Shades of Green.

@Wild-Dad Год назад

My first car also served as a carry-all (as have all my subsequent cars) and thus my CB radio handle was Thunderbird 2. However none of my cars have been green. They've been mostly red and or blue so I figured they were just active camouflaging! LOL

Nice job. Thanks for the tip of using oil based paint for the weathering. Super cool

@stugreenhouse6680 4 года назад

That's good value considering the detail and amount of joy in it

@beaverchicken 3 года назад

Tommy Boy No, no it isn't. I imagine it'd be much more fun and a hell of a lot cheaper to scratch build this with wood or something. Why they chose to have this cost 1000 pounds I will never understand. You could get a bigger 1/200 Aircraft carrier with tons of more detail for half the price

DeAgostini is just another word for daylight robbery. The amount of profit they must make on each of these kits must be staggering.

It's even more than you think. Consider the number of people who start the subscription and drop out after the half way mark when they finally realise just how much they've spent and how much more they have to spend!

Oh, that looks nice, I wonder how much it is *Sees price and has a stroke, an aneurysm, and a heart attack simultaneously*

@bensmith1604 6 лет назад

how much did it cost?

@wildwalkeruk 6 лет назад

£849. De Agostini kits are really expensive, the Red Bull F1 car came in at over a grand! Looking at this kit though, it is another level above general air fix type models, is it worth £850 quid? probably not, but it does look really nice.

@barnabylee9763 5 лет назад

They could sell this for £350 that would be much better. Great quality too expensive for most (me)

@Enojadoland Год назад

It's basically the Takara TOMY Thunderbird 2 released in Japan in the early 2000's. Same exact toy, same electronics, same everything, only difference is that the original retailed for 100 USD while this retailed for over 1000 USD. If you really want one of these, get the Takara one off Ebay, their a bit expensive nowadays, but way better than this DeAgostini one. Afraid to say that those who bought this version got scammed big time.

@johnkelley9877 6 лет назад

Really good review Owen. Your right, the oil paint weathering takes it from a toy to a scale model. I have enjoyed watching this series of reviews on Thunderbird 2.

@quickkits 6 лет назад

Thanks John, I'm very pleased that you've enjoyed the series

@Dragonblaster1 6 лет назад

John, this was what made the original Thunderbirds series so special. Immediately after building the models, the modellers would start to ding and weather them, to stress that these were _working_ machines, not fresh from the factory.

@xray111xxx 6 лет назад

I love your build. I grew up with the Thunderbirds on TV. Loved the show. The elevator shafts with that rack and pinion could be torquing as a result of some binding. You want to be sure the racks are properly tensioned so no twist exist. Maybe even some light machine oil too might help. I worked with rack and pinion systems allot from toys to 1/4 million dollar printer and copiers. Yep they use them. So I saw them bind up like on your model too. We used much more larger scale types with DC stepper motors, and also glide shafts along with the rack and pinion. Overall, really nice work you did on my very favorite Thunderbird. Though I love 1 and 3 also. Please keep building more. I am awful with models but your build was really enjoyable.

@Bill23799 4 года назад

Wow! That is an amazing kit. I was very impressed with the detailing inside the PODS. It makes sense there is a small office area in each POD where the emergency vehicle operators probably sat during flight. Was there a WC in that office area as well? Amazing that it comes with all the emergency vehicles too. I hope you were able to work out the leg gearing issues. Perhaps you could arrange a live chat with Brains.

@hotelgulf 4 года назад

Wow- nicely done. The weathering looks beautiful. Nice job. Looks to be very expensive with all of the vehicles included. Will have to look for one to see if it’s in my budget threshold. 🌞

@Warewolf943 6 лет назад

I've been subscribed to you for a fair few years now and I really, really love your videos - They're cleanly put together, the videography is excellent and despite education and all that, you're still trucking along - Keep going Owen!

@kenstevens5065 Год назад

Great build and glad you mentioned the problems with plastic glue or polystyrene cement. That's something I noticed on returning to aircraft kits on retirement. It is not as efficient nowadays in bonding. I think that's a combination of the harder plastics that kits use today to achieve finer details in mouldings and a cement formula with less fumes, presumably like paints, less solvents for environmental reasons. Superglue as you say is good alternative. Traditional clear glues like uhu work but use sparingly as they are very aggressive and any overspill will damage the model surface.

@MrSlitskirts 6 лет назад

Great model, model, and video clip. You explained things really well, including the recommendations. I think for the intended market it would be worth the money, as you would only ever buy one, like it's a long term purchase and build experience choice. It also I would assume has certain options for more advanced modellers for customisation, such as more painting/weathering of the smaller parts, like the Missile Launchers, plus changing the engine noise, etc. Also, like many no doubt I didn't know the Pod's had two doors/ramps, since only the front one was ever shown in the TV show, but it still may have existed on the model concept drawing. Great work, kind regards.

@MGSBigBoss77 5 лет назад

Damn, i am impressed. I remember going through model magazines in the 1980's and seeing the old Japanese Thunderbirds kits and of course Thunderbird 2 was usually front and centre. With the most scale model versions available. Well done and cheers for going to the extra depths of making yours all detailed and painted out and so fourth!

@paulnewton9733 2 года назад

I was mad into Thunderbirds when they first came out (I'm now 59, going on 6) and had the Rosenthal's, which I've re-collected since my Mum bought me some of the Carlton stuff in the 90's. I agree with you-this is a very expensive kit, but I'm trying to get it in separate parts (it can come in ten sections, am I right?) I've also seen several reviews about the hydraulic legs going west, but all-in-all, I think you did a fantastic job, and I had a big smile on my face as you neared the end of the construction, and TB2 took shape. Great job, Owen, and thanks for the video. FAB!

Thunderbird 2 was my favorite as a kid in 1965.

@SonanLine 10 месяцев назад

This model was indeed very expensive as it was a Diagostini project. However, this became a popular project in Japan, so an expansion was made to build another POD and launch pad. This eventually led to the publication of ``The Architecture of Tracy Island.''

@MrStabby19812 6 лет назад

Damn nice work. Wish you could get FAB 1 by itself even though it's slightly the wrong scale would be a funny feature on my railway.

Haven't done any yet as the leg problem has annoyed me, not to mention that it no longer appears on their website and the instructions that I had downloaded are on a laptop that has died on me so now I am searching for a copy of them. Oh... and thanks to your link, I have just found them! Wahey!!!!

@citizncain 6 лет назад

Where do you keep all your models? Do you ever donate them or have them put in a location? Will you be on an episode of Hoarders? Do you ever put them in display cases? Is there just a room full of models in your basement next to a full scale model train city of Zimbabwe ? All in fun, good building .I only thought of this because that is a big model! These things do take up space. You got me back into it doing models. Happy Clouds! - Bob Ross

@london19657 4 года назад

The price is obscene but as fans, we should be glad that this model even exists. As a kid, there were models I could never afford but I might get one for Christmas. It's funny that today, even though most of us could afford this, we just won't be buying it. The payments were a good way around the main problem, but no. (For perspective, I'm 57). Great video as ever, thank you!
