With all the plastic model kits available, the decals are well rendered and extremely
detailed. Many books are available about the kits and the manufacturing of the original
Thunderbirds vehicles used on the show which can aid you in detailing your models:
Thunderbirds Plastic Model Kit Catalog
The Encyclopedia of Thunderbirds
Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds: The Official Edition
Gerry Andersons Thunderbirds and International Rescue
Thunderbirds Machine Library
and several others
Unfortunately, they are all published in Japanese; however, the photographs are clear

happy to provide any information needed to anyone interested in properly rendering these
kits. Mark Kulenich
