incredible work David

I love Supercar. I've got the colour product enterprise model on my shelf and just love the detail on it. When (yeah I said WHEN) I'm a multi-millionaire I will actually build my own full working Supercar... of course it probably won't fly... but hurtling down the M1 in it would be an experience! I also love flying it on Flight Simulator. Thanks to the guy who made that (the name escapes me)!

[jamesharris]

all of them ;)
TB2
Eagle variants

[Bufflers Halt]

My fav is Thunderbird 2 with the Eagle transporters 2nd.

followed by Thunderbird 2 and SPV

[doctor222]

Hard to choice, but i've a special preference for the SPV from the original Captain Scarlet Movie, and after come the wonderful eagle Transporter.

I've a SPV from Dinky Toys (partially dammaged) and a VIP Eagle from Ganada Venture, the one you can buy in many merchandesign shop.

[w8cmp]

Definitely an Eagle Transporter

[Picasso61]

Has to be The Mole from Thunderbirds with the SPV a close second.:)

Yes. YES :D

[Picasso61]

The Fireflash is just one super aircraft!:cool:

[sliuman]

Thunderbird 1 & 2 for their power and grace.

Eagle Transporter for its practicality and real-world look. And with all the diecast variants and models out there, it's definitely the best referenced and most widely available Anderson craft.

Is that first image of Thnderbird 2 the Iconic Replicas model? If it is how could they get the colour SOOOOOO wrong??? :p

[Steve Gerard]

www.otherlandtoys.co.uk/thunderbird-limited-edition-p-2212.html

This is the THUNDERBIRD 2 source. Maybe, it was extremely overlit???? :(

[Silent Bob]

Looking at the image of the box, it is the Product Enterprise/Iconic Replicas Thunderbird 2. No wonder so many collectors didn't buy it. :(

[Mark42]

Is that first image of Thnderbird 2 the Iconic Replicas model? If it is how could they get the colour SOOOOOO wrong??? :p

And the shape too!

You didn't need to tell us the source of the pictures Steve as the website is clearly written across the wing and fuselage, indicating where you had got them from. I thought that you were perhaps spreading some advertising for the company in question.

Actually the original models were several different green colours. If you watch the begining of the episode Security Hazzard, when TB2 lands back at Tracy Island, then you will see that the Pod is a different colour to the rest of the model.

[Derek Eaton]

There is an interview with Derek Meddings in an old Starburst where he talks about the original shape of the TB2 nose and the colour and never being able to get it the same again.

[TonyB]

Oh I was forgetting the mighty Zero X, I have always loved that vehicle.

[Silent Bob]

I would dearly have loved to see a spin off TV series of Zero-X after Thunderbirds Are Go. That was the main reason why i had TV Century 21 every week in the sixties, for my weekly dose of Zero-X.
Especially when Mike Noble was drawing the strip, he could make that vehicle look dynamic from any angle.

[Conrad Lefkon]

I guess this is another vote for Zero-X then. I have the Aoshima die-cast model and it is unbelievably good!

1. Zero-X (Thunderbirds Are Go)
2. Thunderbird 3
3. Mac’s Air Car (Joe 90)
4. Fireflash (Thunderbirds)
5. Joesville Mail Train (Joe 90)
6. Gray & Houseman Road Construction Vehicle (Thunderbirds)
7. Thunderbird 2
8. Delta Tango 19 (Captain Scarlet)
9. Druzynik (New Captain Scarlet)
10. Terrorfish (Stingray)

[kennetzel]

I like a lot of the ships from the Anderson shows. But my favorite is the Zero X.http://www.fanderson.org.uk/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=41&d=1253463365

I did not even notice it in the image, especially since silent bob asked me my source. That makes two of us that did not see what you saw. thanks Mark42 ...you have a good eye :)

How about SHADO SKY

[Steve Gerard]

ULTRA PROBE from "Dragon's Domain" SPACE:1999 episodehttp://www.space1999.org/images/gallery/rjandron/Ultraprobe_MMF.jpg

[TonyB]

There are so many fantastic designs from these show's, its really hard to pick a top 10 let alone pick just one.

[Silent Bob]

Lets just face it. Derek Meddings and Mike Trim couldn't design a bad vehicle if they tried!

[Steve Gerard]

It is so true...they are extremely talented .

[miger]

Aoshima die-cast Zero X -------------------probably the best die cast ever produced

[Virgil Tracy]

I like all the thunderbirds and all the pod vehicles
Fireflash
SPV
And more...

[Mark42]

Ditto - you must be reading my mind.

The main problem with this, is that it would really only be a reworking of Fireball XL5, which was still quite recent for them.

[Jaffa1978]

Lets just face it. Derek Meddings and Mike Trim couldn't design a bad vehicle if they tried!
Not forgetting Reg Hill too for for without him we wouldn't have the wonder of Stingray!

[Silent Bob]

What a vehicle! What an artist!

[David]

It has to be Supercar. It's so sleek and even a bit retro now but...... I WANT ONE AND I WANT IT NOW!

S.H.A.D.O. MOBILES

[Virgil Tracy]

http://www.space1999.net/catacombs/plus/dt/ufo/ufo_eagle_shado_vehicles.jpg

Hi Steve Gerard
I guess you know that the UFO MOONMOBILE was in an episode of Captain Scarlet, one of the ones when they go to the moon (Can't recall which one, I'll go and take a look), but it moves in a different way

[Steve Gerard]

Hi Steve Gerard

Yes, I do remember...but what episode?

[Silent Bob]

The episode in question is Lunarville 7.

[Silent Bob]

I cant remember where on the net i found these pics of an uprated SHADO mobile. Always liked it though.

[TonyB]

The updated Shado Mobile 3 is pretty cool, different enough but remaining essentially the same.

[Virgil Tracy]

Yes, I do remember...but what episode?

I've been looking and i haven't seen it yet, but as Silent Bob says it's in Lunarville 7, but is it in Crater 101 too?

[air terrainean]

Yes, it also appears in Crater 101 !

[Virgil Tracy]

Thanks air terrainean, well i guess that answerers that age old question "What episode of Captain Scarlet was the UFO MOONMOBILE in" LOL:p:D

[Mark42]

It's pushing it to say it's the Moon Mobile, bit like saying the Shado Mobile appears in Joe 90's 'Colonel McClaine' episode.

[Mark42]

The updated Shado Mobile 3 is pretty cool, different enough but remaining essentially the same.

I could live with that Mobile redesign - very nice.

[Virgil Tracy]

It's pushing it to say it's the Moon Mobile, bit like saying the Shado Mobile appears in Joe 90's 'Colonel McClaine' episode.

That's another age old question out the way LOL:p:D

[Terry1]

The Overlander from Terrahawks.
I think this encapsulated the GA ground vehicle mythos perfectly (shame about the show though)
I always back the underdog...

[Picasso61]

Has to be The Mole from Thunderbirds with the SPV a close second.:)Also Father Unwin's Model T Ford. Any colour as long as it's yellow!
Mechanical Fish & X20's underwater craft.
The Unitron (Point 783) and The Aquatank (Recall To Service) are pretty cool too. Are they one and the same?

[TonyB]

The list isd getting very long indeed, it just goes to show how iconic some of these designs were, that we are still talking about them 35 to 50 years on, brilliant stuff.

Heh, all this talk even makes me want to go and build something new, or even go and finish the two 1/48th scale Angel Interceptors that have been sat there untouched for about four years. :(
