    Stunning work. The detail and the fact you made the front detachable via magnets. Perfect.

    Great work on your XL5. Takes me back to a kid in the 1960s when I use to watch the program.

    Was one of the series that got me into Science Fiction. Classic 50’s/60’s rocket design that isn’t far off today’s rockets. Just look at the Dragon 2 that is about to launch. It’s almost Fireball Jr.

    Wonderful! Better than any of the Fireball XL-5 toys I had when I was much much younger. What a great attention to detail, even the number and spacing of the ports!

      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.

      @@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 "
