It is my understanding that Hawk Models has aquired Lindberg.

I have just found some news about Lindberg model kits. I don't know all the history, but Lindberg kits had been owned by Craft House, which was very hard to find or get a hold of and when you did they were not very helpful.

Today I found out that all the Lindberg kits have been sold again to Hawk Model Co. I did call them today about a missing piece in a 66 Chevelle kit I recently purchased and 1. they very easy to reach and 2. they seem very willing to help me out to get the piece I need.

Update, they did send the chrome tree from the '66 Chevelle kit. It came within a week of my contact with Hawk.

They have just purchased the Lindberg line and are still kind of in transition, but seems like they may be a breath of fresh air for the kits.

They are located in Cedar Rapids, Ia, phone 319-390-8888 and their website is;

http://www.hawkmodels.com/hemi.htm

They said they are a manufacturer and distributor for the kits and will not be selling directly to the public, but at least it is nice to know that the kits will still be produced.

I see they are also to company that makes the 1/4 scale Hemi engine. I am looking forward to finding out what else they will be making. I told them on the phone I sure wish they could get a hold of some of the old Johan kits to repop. Boy would that be great. (dream on)

It does not look like they have the Lindberg line on their site yet, but they do have a link for model kits.

They do have a news letter that you can subscribe to.

Thought some of the rest of you folks would like to know this and see what they come up with in the future

hmmmmm, I thought that Hawk Models had gone belly up! I went looking in my stash and found an unbuilt "Wild Woodie" surfer rod from 1965. On a side panel they have a "Stude Hardtop" (a Lark, I think), a Monte Carlo (Dream Car) and a "Woodie on a Surfari." They made sum really wild models back then.
