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.
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 😬
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.
I have funderbirds toys
Does anybody else watch these in the night time? Do you know what I mean?
Such soft hands
Thumbs up if you get me!
Huge fan of Thunderbirds but I never knew the pods had rear door. Learn something new everyday. Thoroughly enjoyed the video.
Rear pod door only seen once, in episode "Perils of Penelope"
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.
Unable to get a Thunderbird 3, 4 and 5, huh? Shame! XD
Asa Holmes No Use for 4 because I can not Swim and as for 3 & 5, well there is nothing Out There, is there? Mind you I wouldn’t mind a Mole.
I worked as a paramedic in the NYC FDNY/EMS running the LSU2 on T1 i was THUNDERBIRD2😎 GREAT EXPERIENCE😎🙏🇺🇸
Coincidence? i think not
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
This is 1 of the most magnificent models ive ever seen constructed! I absolutely love it!
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!
I looked the TV Show when I was 9 years old. I am 61. Very exciting. Greetings, Jorge
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.
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!
Lovely build of one my very favorite science fiction series craft! The weathering was spot-on. SO GOOD.
Your skilled weathering makes the model pop.
Peter Wragg would have been proud of your dirtying-down technique!
That's good value considering the detail and amount of joy in it
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
This is hands down the coolest TB2. Great work, I wish I had the patience to sit down and build one
I wish I had the skill :)
Very well produced series on this kit. Look forward to more space/science fantasy models in the future!
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.
Christ..you must gave the patience of a saint..no way I could build this..!!! You done a fantastic job though..well done..!!!
this is wild i totally forgot about thunderbird. i was obsessed with it when i was little, had all the little thunderbird vehicle toys
£850 for this ! What?
for that price they can make a decent gear drive for the pod lifter
Thunderbird 2 was my favorite as a kid in 1965.
You've more patience than me,
She's a good looking model
Thank you
It's awesome 😊
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 always my favorite. The Dinky metal cast model was a well used toy
Oh, that looks nice, I wonder how much it is
*Sees price and has a stroke, an aneurysm, and a heart attack simultaneously*
how much did it cost?
£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.
They could sell this for £350 that would be much better. Great quality too expensive for most (me)
I rather my plastic kit ... 1.000 dollars no thanks :)
And you get 500 copies of a shit magazine to put through the recycling.
They truly are rip off merchants of the highest order
Its an iconic piece our Thunderbird 2 …. Ahhhhhh
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!
I would have killed to have had a kit like this when I was a teenager in the 1970s.
Any shortcomings aside, this is a well designed model, elaborate and nice job by you..!
Well Done buddy
- George
Great weathering effects
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.
As a kid watching the show in the late 60s US syndication, this was my favorite ship.
So it's not just me that has the issue with the extending legs then? Good to know! Great work with the weathering. 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!!!!
looking good hope this is coming back to buy
5..., 4..., 3..., 2..., 1... Thunderbirds are GO!
Simply Amazing!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video and great build. So sorry the the legs were such a pain. I enjoyed the whole video though. Very cool. Keep up the great work. I learned quit a lot from it. Thanks.
I'm glad they chose to make the original design for tb2 its way better than the new one
It looks gr8 when it's finished
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
Great that you stuck with the model build. I think those electronic sound effects are pretty much always cheesy, so not your fault at all. These models are still being built and made, so obviously still loved by generations to come.
Beautiful kit, nice build. Wish I was a kid again!
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!
Great watching you build it..You have nice hands and fingers..
Jaw dropping on every level, very cool model
smoking a big fat joint watching someone build a spaceship what can you ask for more
Grew up watching supermarionation, so it’s awesome!!!!!!! 👍😎😍
Best meditation video ever.
Me watching the video: Something to do here
Also me watching the price: Nothing to do here
A great build Owen, love the kit and the weathering was beautifully done...But £849? Ridiculous!
Nice job. Thanks for the tip of using oil based paint for the weathering. Super cool
Great job, I never knew anything like that was available. It really looks cool.
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.
Thanks for the video. I didn't even know the kit was available till I saw your video. Looks like a really great kit and you did a fantastic job building, weathering and explaining how you built it.
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.
Thanks John, I'm very pleased that you've enjoyed the series
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.
Now that you have finishe this amazing model i have to continue my f-105g 1:48 model. Continue like this
Felicidades un trabajo espectacular
I love thunderbird 2!wow and good job makeing thunderbird 2!
Fantastic detail, excellent video. However, at that price, hubby won't be getting one for Christmas.
WOW. Just WOW. Amazing 👏👏👏
AWESOME WORK 👍
that looks amazing !!!!!!
Wow, you're dedication to detail, determination and skills are all amazing. Brilliant, your a very talented man. Well done. Kind regards, Melvin Jarvis
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.''
BRAVO!
The sound effects xD But hey it still came out great Owen. The way you weather this made the kit looks less like a toy. Definitely something unique in your collection. I’m still excited to see you build your Bismarck
Thank you I'm glad you like how it turned out :)

It mind blowing how the make alof these parts that come togheter as one
Breathe in, breathe out.
Watch this man build about.
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. 🌞
I think your paintwork came up brilliant!
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!
Thank you very much, that really means a lot to me 😃
Owen you’re my hero xoxox
Wow, talk about a blast from the past. I remember watching the shows on TV. One of the best series that used marionettes and models to create awesome visuals for the time. Doubt the movie Team America paid homage that that series in the behind the scenes trivias.
1 word brilliantly built the interior detail is stunning.
I've just ordered the new 1/350 scale kit but I know it will fade into insignificance compared to your model.
Thank you
Watching this brought back so much nostalgia - it looks so much like a prop from the show
Looks really good. Especially with the weathering
Thank you very much
When I was little I had all the thunderbirds in little metal models. Was my fav show even tho it was black and white!
Necrodead : I bet you wish you had those models now
It was transmitted in colour.....
@@PhilbyFavourites damn straight!
@@alanjones2471 all I had in the early 90's were VHS copies that someone had recorded from TV at some point. They were all in BnW.
Nice set of videos and review. I think that you are on point, for the price of the hole model kit it should work flawlessly and those screws should be hiden.
:)
Very nice video and a very nice built. Definitely the weathering gives the model great look! As for me, I was very disappointed with the cockpit windows location. They are too high. I prefer the Takara version.
Looks awesome Owen. Especially with your weathering.
Thank you David! :)
My favorite Thunderbird!
Thunderbirds 2 and 3 were my favorites then Thunderbird 5 that lonely space station
Very cool! Loved the attention to detail. As to the slipping gears, maybe, try adding some small packings to stop the toothed sheaves from separating, experiment with what thickness to use.
You can record your own sound effects and write to the eprom with your own sounds!
HOABL
Excellent presentation, sir. Most instructive.
I so want this now
Guau! , definitivamente un juguete hermoso ,pero creo que no es para jugar, es para admirar y querer, gracias.
Beautiful kit.
I'm very tempted to buy myself one of these kits or at least one from the site after i've finished my custom gundam build.
Very good job
Nice build and review. Loved the oil work, i really must try this more.
Thanks! and yeah I'd definitely recommend giving oils a try
It's a pity that website in ur description doesn't do the T2 would have loved to have this
Great Job!!!
Having build this kit, I have to say that it is a fabulous looking model overall - the selection of support vehicles is also very nice. I see that you've also had the leg extension problem - it seems to be an ongoing issue (it is all over their forums) and I've yet to find a good fix for it. If you've found a fix for it since posting this video I'd certainly like to hear from you about it.
The leg extention problem comes from the fact that this is a carbon copy of the Takara 1/144 scale TB2 that was sold in Japan in the early 2000's. It had the same issue with the legs, Ill give it a pass considering it was ambitious of them to give the toy motorized legs, but seeing how DeAgostini also has the same issue is pretty unforgivable, just shows that they didn't even bother redesigning the mechanism to stop that issue from happening again.
I need to get this one! Had all the original kits in smaller scale than that. I think they were IRC, or Testors models back in the 60s
Fascinating 🛸
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!
YES FINALLY GET TO SEE THE MAIN BUILD!
Nice model
Great job
Seriously want this but the cost is simply eye watering.
