ENEMY FIGHTER from ‘Thunderbirds’ (1965) created by Gerry Anderson

Seen briefly in the episode ‘The Cham Cham’ - a exotic mystery thriller. These aircraft are from an unknown enemy country or regime which is described only by the strange ‘oval markings’.. t was common in TV shows and Films of the time to refer to ‘The Other Side’. They attack the RTL-2. Rocket Transporter.

A lot of the episode takes place in the alps, so a mountainous background seemed appropriate for this imaginary kit.

The actual vfx model was ‘kit-bashed’ from model kits of an F104 starfighter (fuselage) and a Saab Drakken (wings and tail). More on how the original model was constructed in the video ‘More Kit Bashing’.
