62rebel Posted December 4, 2006 Posted December 4, 2006 i wouldn't discount the level of detail on some of those old kits; i was looking through my old instruction sheets and found some old Lindberg and PYRO kit sheets; they had pretty good detail for the scale and production methods. most of them had fair drivetrain detail and even some engine detail, and interiors when even AMT and Revell weren't putting them in their models. a lack of building options and all-plastic construction limited their appeal, so the "real" (1/25 and 1/24) models overshadowed them. chuck one of the Lindberg 1/32 kits over to Jairus and i bet it'll be hard to distinguish from 1:1 much less 1/25! granted; those monogram kits are simplified, but so were the much-loved Tom Daniels kits! some had not even the merest representation of full size running gear, just a materialized concept! (rommel's rod, anyone?)
