Funnily enough, I remember four feather falls (a western) but have no recollection at all of supercar. Oh, and as I wore glasses early on I HATED Joe 90........

[papa 695]

Right back to the build.
Made a start on this, got the nose cone put together also the rocket parts.

With it being a toy type kit I’ve had to fill the hole were the wings operating switch would sit.

And I think I’ll have to get a Tiger moth too.

I think you’ve made a lot of old boys (can’t call us men after that outbreak) very happy Ian.
Me being one of them

Dave, you missed Space 1999 (Eagle transporters!) between UFO and Terrahawks. And then there's Space Precinct (best, theme, ever!), which has never had any kits made from it, though it would only be flying cop car

Wait, Ian, you took out the wing working feature!? Noo! BTW, does the kit contain the very spindly undercarriage in the kit?

Hmm, now I have to build my Fireflash - yes, the most dangerous airliner ever flown...

Hi Chris, no there’s no undercarriage at all so I’m going to scratch it, and I couldn’t have the wings opening and closing with the undercarriage fitted.

Yes it looks like it Tim, I’m too of that age growing up with them all.

Fair point. Brass rod time, methinks

Hmm. Still missed one out

Lavender Castle.

[Dave Ward]

Lavender Castle.

Hmmm - stop motion/cgi, and only Gerry Anderson? I wouldn't count any series as a genuine part of the genre really, unless you can see the strings!!!! :tongue-out2: Sorry UFO, Space 1999 & Space Precinct fans!
