Within 6 months the rivets were replaced with screws. The legs on the very first models were easily broken and because the body was riveted, repairs were very difficult. The first # 101 models were produced in a reasonably accurate gloss green colour, though this changed to metallic sea green later. The 106 version was larger and had a more sturdy under carriage but was released in primarily metallic blue. The 101 version lasted 6 years and was green, the colour of the model in the TV series but it had a key design flaw with its easily breakable legs.
The first 101 Thunderbird 2 and the last 106 version Thunderbird 4 was also provided and sat in the detachable pod.
Licensed from Century 21, Gerry Anderson’s TV company who produced the extremely popular supermarionation TV series Thunderbirds, they were produced between 19 and were an accurate depiction, apart from the 106 colour scheme, of the TV vehicle with great play value. Dinky 101 and 106 Thunderbird 2 models were amongst the most popular Dinky models made.
