I don’t remember where I found this picture, it seems to be early concept art of the boys’ uniforms. Virgil’s has obviously been modified during production but it’s interesting to see he was supossed to have two baldrics (more pockets for more equipement) and all of them except John had colored kneepads.
I’ve been wanting to see Tracy Bro concept designs for years, what a find!!
Also may I add these pieces if you haven’t seen them already:

These are pieces from Weta’s senior concept artist Christian Pearce. He also made concept art of Thunderbirds 1-5 and their interiors, FAB 1 and Brains’ lab which are on his Art Station profile which I’m going to link below.
An altered version of the Virgil pictured is also used as a size reference for his Module concept art and a different illustration of Scott is used for T1.
There’s also an alternate title shown here too.

I recommend checking out his work, it’s insanely interesting. As well as TAG he has a portfolio of concept art for loads of other projects that Weta was involved in.
