The Helijet was used in four episodes of Thunderbirds. “City of fire” (green), “End of the road” (red), “Pit of peril” (yellow) and “Desperate intruder” (red and white). Like some of the other vehicles in Thunderbirds, this was made by combining plastic model kits in unusual ways to make new designs.
It is most likely that there was only one model made and repainted for each episode. But, if you look at the two screen grabs from the episode “City of Fire”, you can see quite a few differences in the model between the two shots. Were there two different models, and if not, why was it changed. One explanation could be that it was repainted for another episode, and then had to be painted green again to film an extra shot for this one......
