How to apply decals:
Waterslide decals are supplied with this model kit.
Please follow these instructions when applying.
• Place decal in the desired
position and slide it gently
from the backing sheet
using tweezers
• Adjust position if required
and dry excess water with
a soft cloth.
• Dip the decal in water
for 10 to 20 seconds.
• Cut out the decal to the
required shape using
scissors or a craft blade.
Paint colour references:
We recommend using the following Humbrol paint colours:
(Paints not included)
The original Thunderbirds television series was produced in a time before
CGI and computers. Skilled model makers and technicians created several
models in varying scales depending on the shot required in the storyline.
This coupled with camera lighting from different angles means the various
craft do appear to be different colours in certain scenes. The paint codes
provided are a basic guide and we would suggest watching the episodes
and referring to the box photo for further detailed information.
