I can't see the video here at work, but the attached article sounds hopeful. I think that if they stick to the formula, it could work. Weta's involvement is a good sign.

I re-watched some of the originals a couple of years ago and you can really see the influence this show had on anime designs.

They did a new version of Captain Scarlet a few years ago. It was pretty good but barely anybody saw it due to scheduling problems in the UK. Well worth a look and if the new Thunderbirds could match the production values, it might be good.....

If the plane actually made, It could fly because Kawamori-san every time considers aerodynamics in designing VFs.

So did the VF-1 and the others.

interesting looking design! ^_^

The "S" stands for "shadow."
According to the interview, he said like those below.
---
He was ordered that basically the S is for some stealth duties; intrudes the enemy areas, flies fast and it has a tight turning ability.
The other Thunderbirds machines are not only something real but those ones also have their own characteristics. And he designed the S concidering about it.
At a beside view of it, its nose looks like that of a Kiwi bird. He designed it referring to its bill and head as the motifs.

Hobbysearch lists the series as toys, although the description says "assembly required", and the parts come on runners. It even has LEDs in the engines. No idea of the scale, though, looks like 1/100.

Thunderbird 2 doesn't look too bad, too:
