Hornby is launching a new range of Corgi Thunderbirds models based on the original classic series.

The firm's Thunderbird 1 model features operational swing wings for added authenticity and play value.

Along with Thunderbird 3, Thunderbird 1 features all new tooling for 2015.

The Thunderbird 2 model measures over 15 cm in length with a wing span of over 10.8cm. Thunderbird 4 fits neatly inside a pod concealed within the spring loaded undercarriage.

Elsewhere, the pink, customised six-wheel Rolls Royce FAB 1 comes complete with Lady Penelope and Parker figures, front firing missile and rear facing rockets.
