THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO

Here we are the final versions of my redesign of Thunderbird 2, By far my favorite redesign so far. Thunderbirds 3 to follow.
The first shows TB2 with it's pod under-cart down during take off from Tracy Island.
Second shows TB2 in flight mode with under-cart retracted.
Third one shows TB2 in rescue mode with pod down and legs extended.
Fourth shows TB2 with it's pod retreaval and heavy lifting cables.
TB2s pods are specialized for specific rescue requirements.
Pod 1: Firefighting Equipment: Pod one is equiped bith an underside hatch for deployment of chemical enti-fire devises and a re-enforced rescue cage, as well as six underside spray nossals connected to tanks inside the pod to spray blazzes from above.
Pod 2: Heavy liftinf recovery equipment: Pod two is equipped with a set of powerful magnetic lifting grabs as well as an aray of other attatchments.
Pod 3: Excavating and demolition equipment: Pod three as well as being the perminat home to the Booster Morter, Mole and the Domo, a roof hatch can open to deploy an aray of demolition morters (not unlike the explosives tractor from End of the Road).
Pod 4: Sea and submersable rescue equipment: Perminat home to Thunderbird 4, pod four is the home of the majority of IRs aquatic rescue gear, equiped with an underside hatch for recovery of submersables and TB4 as well as the deployment of the diving escape bell. Four balast valves alow the pod to submerge and surface when out at sea.
Pod 5: Heavy rescue pod; For when situation are most dificult you need the heaviest and most durable vehicle and equipment. In addition to an on board Laboratory, Pod 5 also habe four banks of crawler tracks, this alows the bod to be moved under it's own power from the on board lanb, when still locked in TB2 the pod alows TB2 to crawls over even terrain for short distances.
Pod 6: The Misc. rescue pod: Pod six is for situation were you don't know what you are in for, for situations were intel is limited, it too has an onboard laboratory, a belly hatch for launching the hummingbird (a small parasite jet) a lauch hatch and retreaval arm in back for TB4 and space for three vehicles in front.

Oh! and a final note, there is a major differance between the three TB2s can you guess what it is?
