FILMED IN SUPERMARIONATION (2014) - Thunderbird 2 Model Miniature
A model miniature of transporter aircraft Thunderbird 2 from the documentary Filmed in Supermarionation. This model screen matches to a scene demonstrating a landing sequence of Thunderbird 1 and Thunderbird 2, used to show how the puppetry techniques in Thunderbirds created the illusion of motion, when the models were in fact, stationary. The main body of the model is made of fibreglass with plastic wings, fin and engines. It is painted green, with yellow and red detail, and white decals displaying the bold 'Thunderbird 2' logo on the sides, fin and underside. The craft features intricate detail, including vents and rear lights painted to imitate metal. A removable fibreglass pod is located in the centre of the model and can be separated from the main body via two small latches. The pod itself displays the number '5' on the door, which opens to reveal a faux-metal ramp. The wings display signs of repair, however the model remains overall in very good condition. Dimensions: 90 cm x 69 cm x21 cm (35 ½" x 27 ¼" x 8 ¼") VAT Status - Margin
