An extra-large (about 250 mm) Thunderbird 2 kit with Thunderbird 4, the Mole and a magnetic towing vehicle — reissued in January 2026.
About this item
Aoshima lists the kit as Thunderbirds series No. 20, released January 2026 (JAN 4905083203484), about 250 mm long and supplied with Thunderbird 4, the Mole and a magnetic towing vehicle. It is described as a reissue and carries the licence line “Licensed by ITV Studios Limited”. The same month Aoshima reissued its standard Thunderbird 2 (No. 19, about 190 mm, with detachable container and folding legs) and Thunderbird 1 (No. 18, with opening swing wings), marking — Aoshima says — 60 years since Thunderbirds was first shown in Japan.
