Thunderbird 1 Cockpit reimagined

I imagine that to some my messing with the original layout is nothing short of a capital crime … perhaps it is. However, even diehard fans have to admit that those question mark control levers that Scot Tracy used for absolutely everything was a bit much.

Want to take off/land/hover/change to horizontal flight/launch remote surveillance thingies/fire steel spiky things into a mountain side to catch boulders and do just about everything else – just push them levers forward.
I suppose that’s a bit rich from someone that usually offers cars without wheels and planes without wings so I better shut up before I did a bigger hole for myself.

Incidentally, if this was the Gerry Anderson universe we were living in Jeff Tracy would be around 12 years old now and living on a farm in Kansas. What are the odds that there actually is a Jeff Tracy living on a farm in Kansas right now?
