Has anyone ever done thunderbird 1 from the 2004 movie 'thunderbirds', for fs2004? And if not, would anyone be willing to do so?

I've been trawling the 'net in the apparently vain hope that I might find one.

Well said that man! ;D Used to like watching it as a young lad (and I still have several die cast models), be a shame for it to be remembered only as a crappy film rather than the proper series!

I know of those two... I've got them.

as for the 2004 movie version, if there isn't one around currently, could anyone make one, please?

The film might have been crap, but some of the redesigns were stunning. I hated the new TB2, but I love the new TB1, and desperately want to be able to fly it.

P.S. if possible, I'd love the model to have;

A VC
VTOL capabilities
Swing-wings, as seen in the movie
The rear thrusters to swing down, again as seen in the movie
Accurate landing gear
Transparent cockpit
and
Immense speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not trying to put pressure on anyone; any model of it would be good enough for me (see, now I'm grovelling! ;D)

I used to have Tracy island (the first one that was brought out....probably worth loads now), all the die cast thunderbirds and all the little plastic figures :D

The best bit about it was you could see the strings :D

PS...I haven't seen the film ;)

If anybody's willing to model the movie version of Thunderbird 1 for me (I haven't the foggiest idea how to) then please PM me.
