I would really like a collectors model of my Thunderbird, is anybody aware of where i could purchase one. I have seen a 1/12 model of the Rocket, it retails here in Australia for $170.

Hardly a collectors model and you would need a can of black paint to make it look right but...Link

I think this link is showing a picture of the actual 1600 . What you will receive, if ordered, will be a model of the 900 . Proceed with caution!..

However the bike in the picture, definitely doesn't need any black paint as the frame looks in great condition. And you might get some over spray onto that beautifully quick Blue and White colour scheme

Nah, it doesn't need a repaint, it already has the toy color scheme. The big bike color is black (as if I needed to remind anyone)

They only ever pick the true classics to copy to models. A model represent the best of that series. You wouldn't have Kate Mosse's fat sister walking the catwalk would you.
