cobraman Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I have the Cobra of both series. Silly things.
Snake45 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I have a "hot pink" Cobra, I think. Somewhere. If this is anyone's "holy grail" kit, I could prolly be talked/traded out of it.
jbwelda Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 did Ferrari actually give them a license to do that? jb
DrGlueblob Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 "ker-THUNK, ker-THUNK" ..That's Enzo spinning around in his coffin.
Snake45 Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 did Ferrari actually give them a license to do that? jb I think that was in the days before the makers started "licensing" stuff.

Aaronw Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 That just goes to show you how much stronger the glue fumes were back in the 60s.
Phirewriter Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) As a kid I loved Lindberg kits (though not this series so much) I wish Round2 would reissue some those cool hot rod kits. Even though many were 1/32 or other odd scales. As a kid I had fun assembling them and many are actually pretty cool designs. Edited January 19, 2015 by Phirewriter
Danno Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 It's things like this that make me glad I've always been a scale bigot.
LDO Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Looks like a 250 LM to me. The box also says 250 Le Mans.
jbwelda Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 its a prime example of why they should just fade away, in my most humble opinion jb
Roadrunner Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 The style seems most appropriate. I'd probably both have a fit and snap, if someone were to give me one of those.
jbwelda Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 my comment about lindberg above is probably a little over the top. they did put out some nice kits. its just those were so diluted with stuff like this current subject that it cast a pall on the entire enterprise to my mind anyhow. jb

I haven't seen anything about it.
blunc Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 come on guys, this was aimed at chilluns during the 70's and 80's... it was all about the big tires back then. probly sold well enough for them to issue the "neon" and glo-n-the-dark series. I think it should be selected as a "same kit" contest theme just to see what us "advanced builders" can make out of one. I still see these go for ridiculous prices on fleabay due to them being listed as "slot cars"
Phirewriter Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Many of Lindberg's 1/32 racing/sports car themed series of kits that originally were issued in the early to mid 60's were sold as slot car bodies only. That's why many of the cars such as Ferrari 250, Cobra Coupe, Porsche and others have these tires or poorly done generic wheel/tires. The neon issues are a prime example. Lindberg did in fact release some rtr slot cars and complete kits along with the bodies. The slot cars are somewhat difficult to find, however don't go for too much due to their rather poor quality.

jbwelda Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 I am trying to recall Lindberg slot cars or bodies sold for slots, but cannot seem to. maybe its old age. got any examples to show? jb
Draggon Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Here's a few complete kits, but I cant recall bodies only either.
jbwelda Posted January 20, 2015 Author Posted January 20, 2015 thanks I remember I have that BRM. not bad little racers but I don't think they ever left the open magnet motor design for the Mabuchi can. jb
