bbowser Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Anyone built this one? Typical Lindberg detail for the era I'm guessing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my66s55 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have built this kit and yes it is 1:24. It went together very nicely with no fitment problems. The colors of the plastic were good enough to just apply Future and the end result was very satisfactory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Anderson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 LIndberg had a flash of intelligence with this kit, as well as their Bugatti Royale kit (first model kit of any Royale, BTW). Both are pretty much late 1960's model car kit design, as laid out by AMT, MPC and such. While it has great detail, the only real drawback are the one-piece wire wheels--they are pretty much correct, but Lindberg chose to do them with a solid backing, which means some shadowing work in order to get them to really stand out.All in all, a pretty nice kit, moved the bar considerably for Lindberg back in the day--but Paul Lindberg was far more interested, apparently, in making cheap model kits for the chain store trade.Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 I found an old thread several pages down where this kit is discussed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
