Lindberg sells kits from maybe half a dozen manufactures. They bought up tools (molds) from a number of companies that went under. Pyro, Hawk and IMC are just a few along with old school Lindberg molds. So a kit may be a state of the art kit like the 66 Chevy, decent kit like Little red wagon, or really hard to build like 48 Lincoln kit. So don't condemn every Lindberg kit or you may miss a nice kit.
