D101

Notes

First issue from 1967-73 in gloss green in superb fresh condition! 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.

Screwed base version:

Note too that this example comes complete with the small Thunderbird 4 inside the pod. Obviously unplayed with or indeed handled very much, this is an exceptional example. Upon minute inspection, there are a couple of the tiniest marks if you peer closely enough. Usually the metal pod which has to be slid out, is heavily marked, this example has a couple of scuff marks which of course are invisible when assembled.
The attractive inner card stand has lots of great artwork and looks so fresh with excellent strong colours. Clean and crisp with a little tear at the cut out base area.

Operating Instructions on the reverse:

Nice to see that the usually discarded packing piece is still present too (minor wear only).

Complete with operational Instruction Leaflet in French!

What a gem! Only the most minor wear.
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.
