D101

Notes

First issue from 1967-73 in all original dark gloss green. The Thunderbird 2 is happily free from the usual little problems that are all too frequent with these early examples i.e. the retractable yellow legs are not temperamental, they work really well and the plated parts and labels are complete, intact and bright.

Note too that this example comes complete with the small Thunderbird 4 inside the pod.
Obviously unplayed with or indeed handled very much. As usual, the metal pod which has to be slid out has a little marking which of course is invisible when assembled – and unavoidable as metal slides across metal.
The attractive inner card stand has lots of great artwork and looks fresh with excellent strong colours. Clean and so crisp! Tiny wear only. Both tuck-in end flaps are present and intact.
Operating Instructions on the reverse (no separate leaflet with this example – leaflet included for examples sold to the French market).

The distinctive card outer box is a very fine example – box is an especially difficult find in this condition – nearly always found punctured or torn, this example has fared better than most!

Very minor wear and this tiniest tear. Period price label at an end flap.
Card packing piece and additional sturdy card strip.

A great Gerry Anderson model to add to your collection – this early issue is a strong favourite with many collectors. A very difficult find in this condition.
