While it looks a bit odd, it is in fact an officially licenced model... in the 1966 Thunderbirds Annual this vehicle, the "X-Car" features as one of the pod vehicles. So, since we all know that the '60s Annuals were published by Anderson's own company, this model has the stamp of approval.
It's a weird bugger, though... it does what the Excavator does in "The Martian Invasion" episode, only instead of a practical piece of equipment at the front, the X-Car has a couple of silly metal hands and a scoop, with the ground rocks being ejected out the back.
I'll give a review when it gets here from the Far East.
