An upgrade version in my style of the original Gerry Anderson Supermarionation series Thunderbirds, combine with TB5 in the newest Thunderbirds Are Go 2004 Film and 2015 Remake. Retained it's original "saucer" like shape and a bit more spacious (even luxurious on the interior) then the original (even the remake version).

Using a powerful adaptive deflector shield, not only defending the craft from any space debris or elements like small meteors, it also generates powerful radar jammer and cloak emitter, enhancing TB5's stealth capability.


Thunderbird 5 is International Rescues stealth geostationary orbital satellite manned by John Tracy. Its main job is to locate disasters happening, or waiting to happen, by constantly scanning the world's environments and listening in on all radio calls currently happening regardless of language or location. Thunderbird 5 contains powerful solar-powered supercomputers with holographic interface that are capable of all this and more. It has the ability to observe and scan anything on the Earth's surface in real time, and is also capable of hacking and taking control of various networks and machinery, giving it an important role in many of the actual rescue missions too. It is perhaps the most unique of the Thunderbirds, and the most useful and technologically advanced machine... Ever.

An excellent design. Curiosity its defensive capabilities might well make it a target for investigation ... assuming the military are up to the task, they would notice a sensor blind spot in orbit, and possibly even a mass shadow, and subsequently investigate.


I'm a lifelong Gerry Anderson fan, and one of my uncles actually worked in the model shop for Anderson during the Supercar to SPACE:1999 era, and as a small child I was given full access to Moonbase Alpha (and the Eagle sets) - an experience that I will never forget!
