Stunning work. The detail and the fact you made the front detachable via magnets. Perfect.

Thank You.

Great work on your XL5. Takes me back to a kid in the 1960s when I use to watch the program.

Tommy, that is absolutely magnificent. Wonderful work Sir!

Thanks, I wish I could make anyone who wanted one for their own.

That is SOOO cool! Great job. I loved that show as a kid.

That is an amazing piece! Thanks for sharing!

That's amazing you've done a lot of large-scale models that look really cool.

Better than the original!!

Absolutely Beautiful mate, love it 👍👍👍

Was one of the series that got me into Science Fiction. Classic 50’s/60’s rocket design that isn’t far off today’s rockets. Just look at the Dragon 2 that is about to launch. It’s almost Fireball Jr.

That's is a beautiful model well done 👏

Wonderful! Better than any of the Fireball XL-5 toys I had when I was much much younger. What a great attention to detail, even the number and spacing of the ports!

I wished so badly for a toy XL5 as a child but there were none, my mates and I used to make them out of the cardboard tubes from the inside of clingwrap and assorted bits of card...not the same as a manufactured toy though.

@@ufoclips1 I believe Airfix made a model of Fireball, I've seen photos of it, it was in a clear bag the way some of their models were. Quite rare I think. Found a mention of it " Posted May 20, 2017 "Once upon a time in the sixties, for five Lyons Maid? ice lolly wrappers and a postal order for 10/6d you could receive a model kit of the then TV wonder, Fireball XL5. (Apparently moulded by Airfix)".

@@potrzebieneuman4702 I missed that,though i remember the ads,there was a die cast around 20 years ago,but i never bought it as it was very small and had very little detail,i always imagined a 12 inch high detail model,with figures no less!,sadly no one thought it a good idea.

Awsome! This was THE model I wanted as a kid. Excellent job!

Thanks Danny, I do have some pictures when I built it, Took me a year off and on to build it using stove pipe, white styrene sheets, an old used cone shaped lamp off E bay and many hours and start over making parts to make this great childhood space ship.

Wow, Very Nice !

That amazing.
