Fireball XL5.

Building a replica model from the TV series Fireball XL5.

This was done for a friend in the early 80’s. I only had two old annuals for reference and no workshop. Most of it was borrowing time in other peoples workshops to use their lathe.

The rest of the build was in the spare room of the flat I lived in. It was all wood with styrene plastic details. The tiny figures were carved in styrene with a bit of a crude paint job. The friend was happy.
