"Thunderbirds are go!" Or not as the case may be as this is not one of them. This was an RTL-2 military transport from the episode Cham-cham and it gets shot down a few times! I got to hand it to @Marine his fireflash build was magnificent and gave me the inspiration to wander down the fictitious aircraft from the thunderbirds series I watched as a kid. Please give his fireflash a spin it's awesome! Landings are shallow and fast at around 40-60% power. Don't be alarmed though as there's about an acre of speed breaks and an AG1 activated chute to slow down with! Such awesome looking designs made for that show I thought more of them should be seen in SP!

@Tang0five
:) To be honest? I was delighted to see this on this site, RTL-2 is one of my favorite designs from the show. Old maybe, but still a cool build!
(I should clarify that my earlier comment was a quote from the episode (Cham Cham), maybe it was slightly different.)
Speaking of which, I was building a not-mig from that episode that shoots down this cargo jet some time ago... I should find it and finish it...
Cheers! @Kendog84 certainly one of my older builds!
She certainly looks good!
@pixelpig1011 sounds good!
I'll try!
@Marine ive made versions of zero x if you woud be kind enough to check it out, ive made one with the nose cone and one without. i hope you enjoy it and its great to see other thunderbirds fans on simple planes
@Tang0five u can make it, someday...!!!
@Tang0five Thx dude :D
@Tang0five I know right!
Alas no @Marine zero-x is way beyond my talents!
Thanks! @BaconRoll yeah can't believe the original series was from the 60s with special effects better than most movies of the time!
Thank you @EpicPigster1 loving your work!
@Tang0five cool! u'll make Zero-X too I guess👍
The new Thunderbirds Are Go! series has many cool vehicle designs
