Sidney Schwartz Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) This kit is the devil's own dumpster fire...pretty much what you'd expect from a Lindberg kit. The body consists of 11 pieces, none of which fit very well. I had to tear it down and rebuild it several times before I could get it sort of OK. Chassis and engine detail are almost non-existant, and the interior is not much better. You've been warned. Enjoy and thanks for looking. This will probalby be my last post here. I'm feeling that I've gone about as far as I want to with this hobby, and there are other things I want to try my hand at. Thanks to all the folks here who were so helpful and encouraging.

Stef Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Oh no! Another PYRO kit lives up to its name, sets itself and builder on fire, claiming yet another hobbyist! Solid work on this dimensionally-challenged Escher kit, Sid. Quick, someone send Sid a Monogram 1941 Lincoln as a palette cleanser, STAT! We can't let you leave the hobby on one of the most objectively challenging kits ever designed. (built model not mine) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichCostello Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It's the worst kit I've ever seen. I didn't even try to build it, just traded it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 So, anyone know exactly what year that Pyro kit came out? I'm thinking sometime in the early 1/2 of the '50s. Has to be one of the earliest plastic car kits ever made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 1955. Prior to 1970, it had no plated parts, and had plastic tire/wheel assemblies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOBLNG Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Wow, that must be a horrible kit if it’s making folks leave the hobby!😬 I think you should a newer Revell or Tamiya kit before quitting Sidney…it may change your mind?🤔 If you do leave, best of luck on your future endeavours.
