Well I've just churned through all of these wonderful builds of the venerable Thunder Fighter, a name new to me over the past few years, always thought it just Buck Rodgers Star Fighter!
Loved watching the show as a kid on Saturday evenings, with the Space Vampire being probably my favourite.
Re-watched a couple of re-runs a few months back and was quite shocked as to how poor and not 'quite' as good as I remember it - Dale, my brother and I used to always notice the 'stock' model shots, despite them flipping and editing the shot. But I suppose it was a product of the time?
Dale also had a short Super 8 edit of the Theatrical release which used to be screened at our summer film fests in the lounge...
I have somewhere at my mothers a few metal toy versions, 2-3 little ones, and a slightly bigger one which came with a little Buck and Twiki - both those figures lost to time, we even had a bizarre real cheap plastic playset which had Marauders, soldiers and all sorts of stuff loosely based on Mr Rodgers...gone, but probably worth a small fortune now!?
I really have to put this ship on my 'to do' list as you have wet my appetite as to having a crack at this... Is the resource holding an 'up to date version' with all the bells and whistles?
