Looking for a scanned copy of the decals from the Lindberg "Mind Blower" roadster kit. Was one of my first kits as a kid, rebuilding for fun and nostalgia. I don't have the original decals and would have to scan and reprint them if I did. Hence, I am looking for a scan or copy of the decal. Thanks! (I found a photo below, not clear enough to reproduce. Shown for reference).

Waiting on decals for the Bronco and of course...Squirrel !!!! So I was watching Barnfind Hunters on The Tube of You, and Tom Cotter comes across this Looked at my shelf and saw this .. yep So on we go....picked up this kit many...many years ago from who knows where ..missing glass and chrome, it was sitting in the stock car pile, measured for nerf bars, window screen and big fat dirt tires....but hold on... The frame and suspension were glued in badly by the previous owner,... left all the seam lines...yay...not too bad tho Found some steelies in the gift that keeps on giving, ..the venerable,... Revell ...( say it with me) '32 5 window 2in1...added those to some parts pak black walls Not too bad.... Now colour... to the paint fridge Top row 3rd from the left On the right is True Blue Duplicolor, on the left Royal Blue. same...I'm thinking left, Royal All of this car is stock as the story goes, brake ducts and stiffer shocks not withstanding ..so really,.it should be a simple oob with some decals...right .? ...the sound of that 409 thru straight pipes tho... Hope you like it, Q.C.&C.s welcome

This kit is definitely unfamiliar to some of the members of this forum. This is one of the only 2 kits made for Lindberg’s “Super Car Series”, a detailed 1/32 kit series, which otherwise has the Porsche 911, which seems to be even rarer. This was a kit I sought after for some time, and I’ve now finally got the opportunity to build and complete it. A definitely unpopular kit in its heyday, it only got 2 unique issues, the regular red sprue version with extra customizing parts, and an unfortunately decontented white sprue IMSA version, which is the one I have. The IMSA version seems to be the cheaper of the 2 versions, as the regular version seems to go around 30 dollars, which seems a bit much for a kit like this, especially since bigger 1/24 or 1/25 C4 kits can be had for 20 dollars in my experience. (I got this for 10 dollars btw) For what it is though, it’s a surprisingly detailed kit at 1/32 scale with a completely separate drivetrain and exhaust, though it seems that it could be a copy of the AMT corvette kit as the sprues seem familiar to the AMT. So starting on the kit, the body seems to be in decent condition, with a shine to the plastic, only hampered by the scratches when you look closer into the body. It has detailed engravings of the backup lights, license plate, and gas cover. Unfortunately the body is noticeably flawed, with the worst being the rear’s parting lines starting to separate from the rest of the body. 😟 The rest of the body seems to just have regular mold lines though, as well as excess flash. This car is absolutely tiny! The chrome sprue tree seems to still have a nice shine, even after over 30 years, probably due to the kit being in a dry climate in its life. The engine, oil pan , and transmission are molded into one, split into 2 halves to be assembled together. The stock wheels are there, as well as the front corner lights and the rest of the engine bits. Unfortunately the taillights seem to just be chrome pieces you glue into the model. 🙁 Overall, the detail isn’t nothing to write home about, and it seems a bit simplified as well, but it may actually be beneficial at this small of a scale. This sprue with the rest of the engine parts seems to be a direct copy of the AMT sprue, just with less fidelity and a set of custom challenge wheels, which fit the IMSA aesthetic. A pretty simplified set up of the rear suspension, with hood hinges and brake discs(?) included. There’s also a roll bar, but it’s too dinky to actually be realistic, so i may consider forgoing that bit. Not much to say here other than that it’s a simple interior with some flash on the parts. There are holes for the dinky roll bar. Airdam seems to be a separate part from the body, as it’s on a sprue away from the body. There’s also a somewhat distorted dashboard, and a hood with cut outs for the non existent hoodscoop. I assume the other regular version has that bit. That kinda sucks. 🙁 Some pretty decent tires are included, with tire lettering on the sides to boot! They seem to be Goodyear Eagle VR50s. Decal sheet seems fine, though it’s just a generic livery. Instructions seem to be serviceable, with a good enough detail to be seen. Interesting that there is Japanese text on there though. Was this sold in Japan at one point? Overall, this kit seems to be just a shrunken down ANT kit, but the detail for its size is worth the 10 bucks for me. I do encourage feedback, as I don’t want to mess up a unique kit like this.

I recently finished up my Lindberg 1964 Dodge 330. This is the 2006 Lindberg reissue, and not the most recent AMT reissue. For the age of the kit, it went together quite well. Although I did have issues with my nemesis (radiator hoses), and the rear bumper gave me fits. Go figure. The vision for this build was that of a regular, every day, commuter car or “grocery getter”. Nothing fancy, just a good, all-around car. The build is box-stock, but I did use the dash decals, Dodge logos, & Michigan plates from the most recent (2023) AMT kit. Color is Dupli-color Santa Fe Tan with a Tamiya Light Blue XF-23 interior. The Leaning Tower of Not Much Power: Coincidentally, I finished this Dodge exactly two years to the day of when I finished the AMT 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 (also a Lindberg kit):

In the early 1960s Lindberg produced a small line of HO model trains. A switcher and an assortment of freight cars were offered, as were freight car trucks that were exceptionally free-rolling. Reportedly Lindberg were among the first to employ Delrin in model products.

Hi all,,one of my fav kits,,the 1/12th Lindberg Topolino,,with some x-tras. Sprayed w/Testors qukdry lime green,,diamond dust for the chassis. And some hand painted accents. Build on!

"Post traditional" seems as good a term as any for what what was happening past the usual cutoff date for the traditional hot rod style (1963-ish?). It doesn't really tick off the usual traditional boxes, but at the same time, it isn't one we've seen a lot of , those interest seems to be growing. The starting point is a Lindberg '34 Ford pickup, and most of the inspiration is coming from these two rods: So the plan is five spoke mags and blue stripe tires if I can find something suitable, with a cedar (stained basswood actually) bed cover for the Northwest look. Here's a mockup of what I have so far. I was originally going to just use the wheels from Revell's '32 Ford 5 Window Coupe, but I ended up using the frame, running gear and fenders as well. The top has a mild chop, just enough to remove the "Phone booth" look, and the bed has been shortened, though I may shorten it a little more.

Not sure if I saw it posted on a forum, in Model Cars Magazine or the "other magazine", but there was a guide to building a car trailer from the sprue from the Lindberg Dodge 330 kits. Does anyone know where to find it? I already did the Google site search for MCM and the other magazine as outlined in the How do I search for answers already posted here thread, nothing. I'm going through my parts boxes as I try to get a little more organized. Ran across a box that had some sprue from the 330 kit and wanted to see if I had all the needed pieces for the trailer build. If I don't have all the pieces it goes in the trash. If someone can point me to the article and I have all the pieces I'll offer them to someone here as I'll never build a trailer from them. Thanks

This started as a Lindberg 1972 Challenger kit. The overall lines of the car are not too bad but, unfortunately it has some cartoonish qualities which needed to be addressed. To start with, the molded in side scallops are of the wrong size and finger count to work with factory graphics. So...I had to sand them off since they could not be reworked. Second the imitation shaker hood and scoop were all wrong. In its place I sourced a 440-6 pack scoop from a Dodge 440. It covered the hole just right. The engine is a 440-6 pack from my parts box. The front grille needed some filing to get to fit properly and some BMF to look close to correct. The interior turned out alright in contrasting black and white. Overall the hood gave me the most trouble. Starting with an annoying warp, I progressively made things worse before they got as good as it is. Four repaints and replacement of the whole rear edge is what it took. I tried some textured paint to dress up the tail panel but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. One thing I did get right were the wheels and tires. I also NAILED the stance. I love the color as I was shooting for Mopar B5 blue metallic.

This one's number 3. Backstory is a poor amateur radio operator needed a used car with a strong electrical system. This one looked like a good deal as an ex-Michigan State cruiser, maybe used by a ranking trooper as it had some nicer features. Colors are are by guess, I couldn't find 2 pictures that agreed.

Never built a Lindberg kit until this one. Screwed up the first paint job on it and hid it in a box for months if not years. Then it became a bit of an experimental subject for scratch built engine parts that didn't make it into the final build. Later, I found a 1972-74 Matchbox Challenger that I absolutely love so I went ahead and replicated it pretty accurately, with some creative freedoms that I took due to the lack of detail on a 1/64 scale Matchbox. Lettering is done by hand, stripes are decals from the '68 Charger kit by Revell. The build itself is pretty far from box stock, with a totally modified front suspension and scratch built rear, carbs and side pipes. Anyways here it is alongside its ''mini-me''. Comments are welcome!

I've noticed some Lindberg Dodge L-700 kits being parted out on eBay; the engine has been referred to as a "361 V8". Is this the same engine as the 361 that was in the early Sixties Mopar passenger cars, and if so, is the IMC unit an accurate representation? I'd like to see if I can use it for the Revell '62 Chrysler Newport. Thanks for your help!

I understand this isn't for the faint of heart Mopar nuts and some of ya are gonna spout out "YOU PUT A WHAT IN THAT POOR OLD DODGE?!". But, since the 330 had a slant six on the base models this combo pays a modern homage to those slant sixers with a twist. This was the AMT boxed Lindberg kit i got on markdown for $7.50 at HL, and since I rarely do things OOB I brainstormed some customizing ideas on what to do with it. I found a resin 2JZ and resin turbos that a friend gave me a while back in my stash and that got the spark going for my next project on top of a closet full of kits i plan to chip away at. Interior is Testors light gray rattle can and basically OOB, added a dash gauge cluster piece (from a Revell pro stock of some sort) and a 57 'Vette steering wheel with a custom stick on the steering column to replicate a shiftier on the wheel type config. 2JZ resin motor has resin twin turbos mounted on modified headers from a Ferrari Boxer 12, plastic tubing as intake pipes, and a custom side exhaust made from a Mustang muffler and Lamborghini exhaust tips. Cadiator from a AMT Dodge Viper, and suspension is pretty much stock but added new drive shaft to go to 2JZ tranny and modified engine mounts on suspension and transmission brace. Wheels and tires are from a AMT Dodge Concept Car builder (that looked as some child did his/her own "crash testing" as it's body all broken, but wheels were intact for only $1). Paint is Tamiya TS-60 Pearl Green cleared with Pledge, and the frame is Krylon Stainless Steel Finish. I also added a Japanese Licence plate from a Aoshima Skyline of some sort because why not. To those who appreciate homages, I hope you enjoy!

There’s some discussions about Lindberg 1:20 kits on this site lately so I thought it was a good time to show my completed Ford Explorer Sport from Lindberg. I built this kit five years ago and it went fine to built, lots of details. There were three issues I remember, the taillights were tricky to get in place. The backside of the frontseat didn’t match completely so I had to use a sandpaper to remove the excessive material (so you don’t se the line between the front- and backseat). I also hade to drill out the holes in the roof for the roof rack (there were holes on the inside of the roof but they didn’t went all the way through), this can also be a good thing if you don’t want a roof rack. Overall, this was a joy to build as I like the subject. The glue on the taillights is a result of my struggle to get them to fit, they do fit but it was tight.

Trying to find out the kit number for these decals which are supposed to be for an AMT 32 Ford. Not sure if they were for a coupe, roadster or ? Thanks in advance

Finally we see the re-release of the old and much loved MPC Pirates of the Caribbean kits!Enjoy the fact that you can now buy a repopped kit for $20 with more in the series to come!Went together like a charm, no issues. Works flawlessly, paints up nicely. Build video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp6xb0vyCfs (Website still has stalling issues direct linking to videos with preview)

Nice rerelease from Lindberg/Round 2. I plan on doing mine as a GI Joe Cobra Commander hot rod, in the red and blue scheme. It fits the old 3 inch figures perfectly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwQPwxMouKo

Anyone built this one? Typical Lindberg detail for the era I'm guessing?

Thought I should share some pictures of my current project, a factory stock Chevrolet Blazer.

I haven't built a truck in a long time, and can't believe I picked this one to start. I shelved it a number of times, but finally stuck it out long enough to call it finished. Yes, the doors do open, but I think I'll keep them in the closed position for now! Thanks for looking John

I see (in someone's avatar...you know who you are ) the 1/25 Lindberg '66 Chevelle Super Sport kit is about to be reissued very soon, so until Round2 puts something up on their 'site, super-hobby has some very shots of the included parts from the last go 'round: http://www.super-hobby.com/products/1966-Chevy-Chevelle-Super-Sport.html IIRC this one one of Lindberg best offerings during their brief renaissance back in the '90s, so I'm looking forward to seeing how Round2 packages this kit this time around.

I've had this previously-built 4-Banger Dragster for a few years now, but the OHC-converted B motor was pretty severely glue-damaged. The "Offy" from a Monogram Indy Roadster gave me the impetus to pull it back out, and scavenge through a Monogram Slingster Dragster for front wheels and a few other details. Since then, I've changed gears again - ordered an Offy 270 from American Racing Miniatures - hope to have more progress soon.

Whilst trolling eBay for kits for sale -- and to check my bid status on a pair of vintage Renauld "Sea & Ski Spectaculars" sunglasses -- I came across this gem. I've subsequently emailled Round2 regarding the Lindberg line of 1/32 scale G.M. Colonnade kits , et al. , and am hoping for a "yes" answer , as-in , "Yes , the tooling exists , and plans are to re-release these kits..."

A very simple kit but with some Pegasus phat daddy wheels and some Alclad candy red, turns a simple kit into a sweet ride I think

Changed the wheels on my Lindberg (1/32scale) '34 Ford. BEFORE AFTER (cell phone camera turned the red a little pink, didn't do color correction on the photo yet, it's all about the wheels)
