Aoshima Thunderbirds kits to be re-released

**telster** · 19-04-2012, 08:35 AM

Just a heads-up folks.

Aoshima are set to re-release half a dozen Thunderbirds kits this coming June/July. Hobbylink Japan (hlj.com) are taking pre-orders now.

Hopefully, more to come!

Thanks for that, Tel. I'll keep an eye (or rather two) out!

FAB! Have to get that larger Mole, TB1 and one of the hanger kits (maybe FAB1)...

Be nice to see some new tooling...maybe a bigger (ACCURATE) TB2! A nice big TB3 would be very welcome as I just cant afford the great kit uncle bill makes.

The 1/350 TB2 is an accurate model, but yes a 1/144 scale one would go down a treat

Thats a great model but the size? Man, I want mine BIG!

I have heard about the news from Hobbylinks Japan too.

FAB1 and Fireflash are among the models being reissued on the 11th. Better still be around in Japan in the Autumn... unless Masterspy grabs them all!

What I wouldn't give for a 1:144 TB3. Direct comparison to a Saturn V, yes please!

Only if you can get in contact with the people of Aoshima to sudgest that
idea to do that.More model companies should listen to the fans to know what
they really want.
