Ai… That puppet film has since been modernized. Digitized. The characters are just human and the Thunderbirds themselves have lost their tenderness and are now really cool machines.
The Ford Thunderbird Hardtop from 1962 in AMK number 5 is still as real as it was in 1962.
And that his dashboard could have come straight from an SF film from the same year? That's great!
AMK issue 5 contains a wonderful T-Bird plus a penetrating piece of history of that illustrious bird species.
