Before you choose

Buying a gift?

Choose a finished model for someone who prefers displaying to building. The premium die-cast is a pre-order with estimated warehouse dispatch in winter 2026, so check delivery timing before buying for a particular date. Choose a kit if they enjoy building and painting models.

Will it fit the collection?

Measure the display space and check the scale. The premium die-cast is the largest Thunderbird 2 here at 252mm long and 192mm wide, with a 285 × 150mm base. The 1:350 kit is approximately 215mm long; the Heavy Rescue set combines a 150mm Thunderbird 2 with a 100mm Firefly and 110mm Excavator at different scales.

What do the kits need?

Both kits require paint and glue. Check the individual product page for the full contents and requirements before ordering.
