EXPLOSIVES TRACTOR (Blister Pack) from the 1965 TV Series ‘THUNDERBIRDS’ created by Gerry Anderson
This 1/144nd scale model of the Gray & Houseman Explosives Tractor featured in the episode ‘End of the Road’. There were two variant of this basic vehicle seen in ‘Sun Probe’ as the Transmitter Truck and ‘Security Hazard’ as a fire-tender. One of the best looking and most memorable vehicles to appear in any of the Anderson shows.
It would surely be a best-selling ‘Series 1’ kit - approx 4 inches in length and in scale with the Thunderbird 2 super kit! One of the coolest ‘pod vehicles’.
I love the old Blister Packs and it fun painting kit parts and decals and the ‘rubber band’ tracks typical of the day. And painting the clear plastic packaging itself.
I imagine a larger scale model in 1/32nd scale.
