LIONEL - HELLO, IS IT THIS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR...?

For regular reader LH's and Crivvies' eyes only, Thunderbird 2 from over 20 years ago, manufactured by Vivid Imaginations.  Good toy, but one flaw was that the pod dipped a bit at the front when off the ground, compromising the smooth contours of the craft in profile.  Simple solution - I added a small, thin piece of plastic under the protuberance at the back of the pod (see 3rd pic) which a lever held in place until released.  My addition pushed the pod's front top slightly higher, keeping it aligned with the rest of the vehicle.

The bigger sized version suffered from the same flaw, but I fixed that in the same way.  Is there no beginning end to my talents?  Anyway, LH, is this the beastie that you have?  And if any of you other Crivvies had this toy, tell us all about it in the comments section.
