Finished this beast - together with 2 others - as part of the 2022 Summer Sci-Fi build.
Its Imai's rendition of the Spectrum SPV for the Gerry Anderson TV series "Captain Scarlet". Not to any particular scale but I would put it around 1/48 at a guess.
Its a pretty basic kit - meant to be motorised but no motor is supplied. Shortly after I finished the 4 tracks on the rear supplied with the kit snapped irrepairably. Fortunately I found an on-line supplier for micro toothed drive belts that were more or less an exact match. Equally fortunately a member of the Facebook group was able to bail me out when the large Spectrum roundel on the nose decided to wrap itself around the cotton bud being used to press the air out from under.
