F is for F.A.B. Breakfast Ma, Schoolkid is GO!

Not shite...or....Quality Shite! Issued with Kellogg's Sugar Smacks in 1966 (Thunderbirds) and 1968 (Captain Scarlet), there are 8 of these to find, I'm up to four...the easy four! I might have a red Patrol Car in storage?

A T'Bird 3 joined 1, 2 and 4 in the '66 issue, with a helicopter and Spectrum Command and Patrol Cars joining the Pursuit Vehicle in the Scarlet issue of '68.

Of note is my T4, which has apparently factory-painted silver highlights on the headlight, windscreen and propulsion nacelles, which wasn't on the food-stuff abutting originals, hinting at a post-premium issue, possibly in crackers (Tom Smith often hoovered this stuff up), or gum-balls?
