Captain Scarlet secret trailer kit

[KevinD]

Just made this little Imai kit of a lorry hiding an SPV from Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons. It springs open at the press of a button, which is pretty much what happens in the episode that it's from.

Its a pretty cool model if I am understanding this correctly. I have not seen this show though.

Thanks. The show was a Gerry Anderson puppet show. The hero worked for Spectrum, an international organisation that dealt with a threat to Earth from aliens on Mars that we accidentally upset! The tank-like SPV's were hidden around the world in disguised locations should their agents need them.

Cool.

I have one of the Dinky Toys SPV's around here somewhere.

Lovely project I loved the trailer (caravan) that would open and reveal the SPV!

Thanks. Oh yes!, now that you mention it, I remember that one too. Great stuff!
