I've been making working Thunderbirds vehicles. Some in development/prototype stage, others fully functional.
Thunderbird 1 is still in development, but looking promising.

Thunderbird 2 performs almost like the original. Even has the piston-jack legs for the ventral cargo bay. (No separate modules with this one yet.) And is capable of full VTOL.

Thunderbird 3 works just fine. Just needs a few tweaks and some trading out of fuel for cargo space. Plus - like the new version in Thunderbirds are Go! she's a grabber ship!

And Thunderbird 4 is even possible now that KSP has proper water physics!
(in case it isn't clear in the below image, TB-2 is floating on the surface of the water, releasing TB-4 from the underside. The water's surface just isn't visible from the underside. They're still working on that.)

I'm taking my design cues at least as much from the newer remake series as the original. Thus some of the extra abilities and robot arms and such.
And yes - eventually I'll design a Thunderbird 5. But that's... almost pedestrian compared to the rest of them. I've kind of been putting it off just because it'll be relatively easier to do, ironically.
So yeah - got the KSP bug bad the last month or so. That's why I haven't been around in online games much. Sorry!
