HELIJET 1

From ‘THUNDERBIRDS’.

Helijets featured in several episodes, of the classic series, and were the futuristic version of present day Helicopters. This is the colour scheme and markings seen in the episode ‘Pit of Peril’

The original model created for the series was itself a ‘kit-bash’ of numerous existing model kits of real aircraft o the day - primarily from a HISKIE Helicopter and B-58 HUDSTLER.

Probably would have been moulded in white to facilitate different paint schemes and measuring approximately 10” (20cm) in length.
