Fireball XL-5 

Thank You.

Thanks, I wish I could make anyone who wanted one for their own.

Me too (no hash tag)

I wished so badly for a toy XL5 as a child but there were none, my mates and I used to make them out of the cardboard tubes from the inside of clingwrap and assorted bits of card...not the same as a manufactured toy though.

@@potrzebieneuman4702 before my parents saved up money for real toys, I did the same, even to making nose cones out of paper and using plastic shapes for fins snd lateral nacells.

@@potrzebieneuman4702 I made my own(badly)from a model of a Lancaster bomber and cardboard,but they missed a great model to sell,i`m sure many of us would have built it,i yearned for Corgi to bring one out,their detailed die castings were the best we could get back then.

@@ufoclips1 I believe Airfix made a model of Fireball, I've seen photos of it, it was in a clear bag the way some of their models were. Quite rare I think. Found a mention of it " Posted May 20, 2017 "Once upon a time in the sixties, for five Lyons Maid? ice lolly wrappers and a postal order for 10/6d you could receive a model kit of the then TV wonder, Fireball XL5. (Apparently moulded by Airfix)".

@@potrzebieneuman4702 I missed that,though i remember the ads,there was a die cast around 20 years ago,but i never bought it as it was very small and had very little detail,i always imagined a 12 inch high detail model,with figures no less!,sadly no one thought it a good idea.

I am glad you like it.

Thanks Danny, I do have some pictures when I built it, Took me a year off and on to build it using stove pipe, white styrene sheets, an old used cone shaped lamp off E bay and many hours and start over making parts to make this great childhood space ship.

Michael Smith Indeed.👍

That`s how the "real"one was held on too.

Thanks, from the first day I saw these shows as a kid about 10 years old I wanted one not even knowing the color of it because in that day everyone just had black and white T.V.

All you need to do now is build Space City!

It does, when I move it I always take fireball Jr off of senior, Thanks for asking.

Thanks David, but you do still know i put this video on over 2 years ago, but thanks again though, Tommy.

Hi David, I was just checking on my videos and saw your comment and to let you know I am doing fine, lets build another great 60's Sci- fi model, Tommy. 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸
